Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels

Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels- I am OBSESSED with these sandwiches! Cream cheese, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni wrapped in a tortilla. Can make ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to eat. Perfect for a quick lunch, parties, and tailgating!!

I got this recipe from my Mom years ago, and I just got around to making it. I am kicking myself! These Pizza Pinwheels are SO GOOD!!! They are super simple and they taste incredible! Cream cheese, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni rolled up in tortillas and sliced. You can make these ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to slice and serve.

These tortilla pinwheels are easy to customize. You could add chopped peppers, onions, olives, or any of your favorite pizza toppings. I always use pepperoni because most people enjoy pepperoni and cheese. If your group is more adventurous, feel free to add more toppings to the mix.

Feel free to use low-fat cream cheese in this recipe. You can also use low-carb or gluten-free tortillas if you need to accommodate any special diets. Sometimes I make these with sun-dried tomato and spinach tortillas. It is the perfect combination for a Christmas party!

These Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels are totally addicting. I absolutely LOVE them! I’m not surprised, I love anything to do with pizza! I make these pinwheels all the time and eat them for lunch or an afternoon snack. They are super easy to make and will keep for several days in the fridge.
