Christmas Tree Pinwheel Appetizer Recipe

These Christmas Tree Pinwheels make the best Christmas appetizer and look so beautiful! The pinwheels are very easy to make and can be made the day before which is always helpful during the holidays.

When complete and placed in the shape of a Christmas tree and adding the garnish you will get many compliments at your Christmas gathering!

These cute little pinwheels or also called rollups, are so easy to make, even kids can help! There are many different ingredients that can be added to pinwheels. For this recipe, I chose some red and green Christmas colors in the form of red bell pepper and cilantro. Plus, the use of green and red tortillas. All green tortillas would also work.

The delicious ingredients of cream cheese, sour cream, green chilis, cheese, taco seasoning and more, rolled into a tortilla, make such a delicious appetizer. The extra addition of the green and red colored tortillas and ability to shape into a Christmas tree make it perfect!
