Preparation

  • Spread a generous layer of cream cheese across each tortilla.
  • Layer your selected deli meats over the cream cheese, ensuring an even distribution.
  • Add a colorful array of fresh veggies on top for crunch and freshness.
  • Roll up the tortilla tightly, starting from one edge, to keep all ingredients secure.
  • Slice the log into pinwheels, aiming for pieces about 1-inch thick.
  • Arrange the pinwheels on a platter to form a Christmas tree shape, positioning larger pieces at the base and smaller ones on top.
  • Use a small star-shaped cutout of tortilla or cheese to adorn the top of your 'tree.'
