You must have come across these easy pinwheel recipes many times and often misjudged them as time-consuming recipes, which they are not. These pinwheel appetizer recipes are simple to make and I guarantee that just one bite and the guests would be wanting more and more.

Ingredients

• Cream cheese, 1 pack

• Finely chopped black olives, 3 tsp
• Hot pepper sauce, ½ tsp
• Mayonnaise as required
• Thin ham slices

Preparation
Take a medium-sized bowl and add cream cheese, onion, green pepper, parsley, olives and hot pepper sauce. Mix well. There's a chance that the mixture may become too thick and if that happens then add a bit of mayonnaise. Place the flour tortillas on a plain surface and then spread the mixture on each tortilla evenly.

Now decorate the mixture with a thin slice of ham if you want to. Keep rolling the covered tortilla until it gains the shape of a hot dog. Keep the tortilla for cooling for some minutes as it makes the cutting very easy. Use a sharp knife and cut the tortilla in about ¼ inch thick slices. The slices will appear in a pin wheel design.
