Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth and creamy mixture without lumps.
Roll your tortillas tightly so they won’t fall open when you pick them up.
Wrap the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap to help them hold their shape
Chill the roll ups for a few hours before slicing to let the cream cheese firm up. This is how you get nice round pinwheels.
Slice with a serrated knife to keep from flattening the tortilla rolls while you cut them.
