  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 24 pinwheels (12 servings)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • ½ tsp fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 pinch Kosher salt
  • 12 large premade spinach or plain tortillas (6-inch)
  • 4 oz (115g) high-quality smoked salmon, patted dry
  • Extra dill and lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt.
  2. Lay tortillas flat and spread each evenly with cream cheese mixture, leaving a ½-inch border.
  3. Place 2–3 strips of smoked salmon side-by-side over each tortilla. Tightly roll from one end, pressing gently. Wrap in plastic and chill for 20 minutes.
  4. Trim ends for clean slices, then cut into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a platter, garnish with extra dill and lemon zest.

Notes

  • Use cold tortillas for easier rolling—warm tortillas tear easily.
  • For a gluten-free option, use large lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas.
  • Can be made 1 day ahead; store airtight in fridge.
