Important Recipe Notes
- Chill Before Slicing – Refrigerating the rolled tortillas for at least an hour helps them hold their shape and makes slicing easier.
- Use Softened Cream Cheese – Soft cream cheese spreads evenly and blends better with the ranch seasoning.
- Add more or less fresh dill or ranch seasoning based on your taste preference.
- Choose Quality Smoked Salmon – Good quality smoked salmon makes a big difference in flavor, but pre-sliced or chopped salmon works fine for convenience.
- Large flour tortillas work best. Whole wheat or spinach tortillas can be used for a fun variation.
- These pinwheels can be made a few hours ahead, making them perfect for parties or busy afternoons.
- Slice into even 1-inch pieces for the best presentation. The ends can be eaten as a snack.
