Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix 8 oz softened cream cheese with 2 tbsp Dijon mustard and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth and creamy.

  4. Step 4: Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log, then wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Step 5: When ready to serve, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels and arrange on a platter or pack in airtight containers for an easy picnic finger food.
