Instructions
Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand.
Prepare the Ingredients
Mince the black olives with a knife and cutting board.
Finely shred the cheddar cheese. If you're using leftover ham, shred it with a food processor.
Mix and Assemble the Pinwheels
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, picante sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, minced black olives, and ground ham. Mix well.
If necessary, heat the flour tortillas in a microwave for 20-30 seconds a few at a time to make more pliable.
Spread ham mixture to the very edges of tortillas. Tightly roll and place on a tray. Freeze for 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
When ready to serve, slice in 1" pieces and secure with toothpick. Makes 40-50 pinwheels.
