These easy cream cheese pinwheels combine crisp cucumber, tangy whipped cream cheese, and savory everything bagel seasoning for a fresh, flavorful snack you can make in minutes. Perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or a quick pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas (soft, burrito-style; whole wheat or gluten-free if needed)
  • 8 oz whipped cream cheese (plain or flavored, softened if using block)
  • 1 large English cucumber (or 2 Persian cucumbers), thinly sliced
  • 2–3 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning (plus more for sprinkling)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill or chives, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the cucumber(s). Trim ends; peel and remove seeds if using standard cucumbers.
  2. Slice cucumber into thin rounds or ribbons (about 1/8 inch thick). Blot slices dry with a paper towel.
  3. In a small bowl, mix whipped cream cheese, chopped dill or chives, lemon zest (if using), and 1-2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Lay out a tortilla on a cutting board. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface.
  5. Arrange cucumber slices in a single, slightly overlapping layer over the cream cheese.
  6. Sprinkle another pinch of everything bagel seasoning over the cucumbers.
  7. Tightly roll up the tortilla into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
  8. Unwrap and place seam-side down. Slice into 1-inch rounds using a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts.
  9. Arrange pinwheels on a platter and sprinkle with extra herbs and seasoning if desired. Serve chilled.

Notes

For best results, blot cucumber slices dry before assembling to prevent sogginess. Chill rolls before slicing for neat pinwheels. Use gluten-free tortillas or dairy-free cream cheese for dietary needs. Pinwheels can be made up to 24 hours ahead and sliced before serving. Variations include adding smoked salmon, turkey, or flavored cream cheese.
