Rainbow Veggie Pinwheels

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

4 large tortillas
⅔ cup whipped cream cheese (can use light)
1 tablespoon dry ranch powder (you can also use store bought)
½ cup thinly sliced red bell pepper strips
½ cup thinly sliced carrot strips
½ cup thinly sliced yellow bell pepper strips
½ cup baby spinach leaves
½ cup shredded purple cabbage
1 cup cooked shredded chicken (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix together the cream cheese and ranch powder until thoroughly combined.
2. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the 4 tortillas.
3. Leaving a 1 inch border on all sides, lay out 2 tablespoons of each vegetable in rows across the tortillas; top with shredded chicken.
4. Roll up each tortilla tightly; if the ends don’t stay shut you can add a bit more cream cheese to seal. Cut crosswise into pinwheels and serve.
