Expert Tips and FAQ’s

Storage/Serving Tips

These Tortilla Cream Cheese Pinwheels taste the best right after you make them. The Cream Cheese mixture can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator but you shouldn’t put it on the tortillas until right before serving or your yummy party appetizer will get super soggy.
