Method
 

Prepare the Herbed Cream Cheese Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Mix in sour cream, chives, parsley, dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
  3. Gently fold in the red bell pepper and green onions. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Assemble the Pinwheels
  1. Lay a large tortilla on a clean surface.
  2. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving a small half-inch border.
Roll and Chill for Best Results
  1. Starting from the edge opposite the empty border, roll the tortilla tightly into a log.
  2. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
Slice and Serve
  1. Once chilled, unwrap and slice off the uneven ends.
  2. Slice the log into uniform rounds, about 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick.
  3. Arrange on a platter and serve.
