Easiest pinwheels ever

I am a fan of tortilla pinwheels of all flavors! And they're super easy to make and don't require a lot of ingredients or prep time. I decided to just use what I had on hand as a last minute finger food when we were having company, but these could be tweaked with anything you like, really. Tomato slices. Olives. Cucumbers. Lettuce. Spinach. Avocado. Whatever gets your boots dancing! If I'd had more time to think and plan I probably would have added some spinach and tomatoes. And maybe some bacon because, you know, bacon makes everything taste better. I think these would also make great snacks for tiny fingers and mouths, if you have any tiny eaters in your house. It's an easy alternative to the standard sandwich. Here's the delio:

1 pkg cream cheese, softened (I used fat free)
1 pkg dry ranch seasoning mix
1 family sized (1 lb) pkg deli thin sliced turkey or ham
1/2 red onion, sliced thin & rings separated and cut in half
1 pkg flour tortillas, I think I used the soft taco or fajita size

Mix the cream cheese and the ranch seasoning together. Lay down a tortilla and spread a couple of spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over it. 


Then lay a few slices of onion on it. 


Then lay down a few slices of meat. 


Roll it up. 


Then slice it up. 


Then repeat until you've used up your tortillas and the cream cheese mix. Or until you decide you'd rather go answer emails or entertain your 7 month old by blowing raspberries on his tummy. You can place them in a covered container and store them in the fridge. Or eat half of them right away because you and your hubby were starving. And if you're really starving, don't even bother slicing them up, just eat them as a rollup. Either way, it works.
