Bacon Ranch Pinwheels 🥓🌿🧀 Creamy, Smoky, and Packed With Ranch Flavor in Every Bite-Sized Swirl

These no-bake wraps are the ultimate make-ahead snack: cream cheese and ranch seasoning form the creamy base, crispy bacon adds crunch, and cheese + herbs round it out. Rolled tight and sliced thin, they’re perfect for potlucks or meal prep.

Ingredients (Makes ~20–24 pinwheels)

For the filling

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp ranch seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
• 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 tbsp chopped green onions or chives
• Optional: pinch of black pepper or garlic powder

For assembly

• 3 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
• Optional: baby spinach or thin-sliced deli turkey/ham for extra layers

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the filling

• In a bowl, stir together cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning, shredded cheese, bacon, and green onions until smooth and combined. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Step 2: Spread and roll

• Lay a tortilla flat and spread about ⅓ of the filling evenly across the surface. Add optional spinach or deli meat if using. Roll tightly from one edge to the other.

Step 3: Chill

• Wrap the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 day). This helps firm them up for cleaner slicing.

Step 4: Slice and serve

• Unwrap and slice into ¾-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife. Arrange on a platter and serve cold or at room temp.

Flavor Variations

• Use jalapeño cream cheese or add hot sauce for a spicy kick
• Swap ranch for chipotle mayo, BBQ sauce, or Caesar dressing
• Add diced bell pepper, olives, or pickles for crunch
• Use spinach tortillas or sun-dried tomato wraps for color
• Try smoked gouda or pepper jack for flavor twists

Pro Tips

• Chill before slicing — it makes cutting cleaner and prevents squishing
• Wipe your knife between cuts to keep edges tidy
• Use room-temp cream cheese for smooth spreading
• Make a double batch — they go fast

Final Thoughts

Bacon Ranch Pinwheels are creamy, craveable, and ridiculously easy to make. They hit that perfect mix of salty, herby, and cheesy — with a smoky bacon crunch in every bite.

Spread it. Roll it. Slice and stack. 🥓🌿🧀
