Roughly chop the roasted red peppers and olives.
3.8 ounces black olives, 12 ounces roasted red peppers
In a medium bowl, combine cream the cheese, ranch dressing mix, Parmesan cheese, chopped red peppers, and chopped olives.
12 ounces whipped cream cheese, 1 ounce ranch dressing mix, ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fold in the cole slaw mix.
1.5 cups cole slaw mix
Spread the cream cheese filling over the tortillas. Roll each tortilla as tightly as possible.
4 10-inch flour tortillas
Wrap each tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1-2 hours (longer is better).
When ready to serve, remove the plastic and use a sharp knife to slice the rolled tortillas into rounds.

Prep Tips:

Use room-temperature whipped cream cheese for easier mixing.
Refrigerating the wrapped tortillas before slicing helps them hold their shape—longer chilling (up to overnight) is even better.
Use a sharp serrated knife to slice without squishing the pinwheels.

Variation Suggestions:

Swap cole slaw mix with finely chopped spinach, shredded carrots, or chopped romaine.
Add chopped cooked bacon for extra savory flavor.
Use a flavored tortilla (like spinach or tomato basil) for a fun visual and flavor boost.
Substitute ranch dressing mix with onion soup mix or taco seasoning for a different twist.

Serving Suggestions:

Perfect for party trays, lunchboxes, or make-ahead snacks.
Serve with a side of ranch or salsa for dipping.
Pair with fresh fruit or a simple side salad for a complete lunch.
Skewer individual pinwheels with toothpicks for easy serving at gatherings.
If desired, you can just slice the rolled tortilla in half and eat it like a wrap instead of slicing it into pinwheels.

Storage Info For Leftovers:

Store leftover pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Avoid freezing—cream cheese changes texture when frozen and thawed.
If prepping ahead, slice right before serving to keep the edges fresh.
