Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large flour tortillas, 2 ripe avocados, 1 lime, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste, 1 cup of softened cream cheese, and 1/2 cup of diced red bell pepper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocados until smooth.
- Add the lime juice, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix everything together until well combined, creating a zesty avocado spread.
- Take one flour tortilla and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- On top of the cream cheese, spread a layer of the zesty avocado mixture, ensuring it covers the cream cheese evenly.
- Sprinkle the diced red bell pepper evenly over the avocado layer for added crunch and flavor.
- Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, ensuring that the filling stays inside as you roll.
- Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the tortilla into pinwheels, about 1 to
- 5 inches thick. You should get several pinwheels from each tortilla.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all ingredients are used.
- Arrange the avocado roll pinwheels on a serving platter. You can garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving for a chilled option. Enjoy your Zesty Avocado Rolls Pinwheels!
Tips

- For extra flavor, try adding jalapeños or green onions to the mix
- Chill the rolled tortillas for 15-30 minutes before cutting for cleaner slices
- Serve immediately or keep refrigerated to maintain the fresh, crisp texture
- Experiment with different tortilla flavors like spinach or sun-dried tomato for variety
