Ah — Tortilla Rolnice (also known as tortilla rolls or pinwheels) are a super easy, no-bake appetizer or snack made from soft tortillas rolled up with a creamy filling, then sliced into bite-sized rounds. 🌀🌯
They’re great for parties, lunchboxes, or quick bites — and you can fill them with anything from ham and cheese to veggies or tuna salad.
Tortilla Rolnice (Savory Tortilla Rolls)
Servings: 20–25 slices (from 4 tortillas)
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
-
4 large flour tortillas (8–10 inches)
-
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
-
2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
-
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda)
-
1/2 cup diced ham, chicken, or smoked salmon (optional)
-
1/2 cup chopped vegetables (bell pepper, cucumber, or pickles)
-
2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or chives), optional
Instructions:
-
Make the filling:
-
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mayonnaise (or yogurt), garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
-
Stir in cheese, meat, vegetables, and herbs until well combined.
-
-
Assemble the rolls:
-
Spread a thin, even layer of the filling mixture over each tortilla — all the way to the edges.
-
Roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other.
-
-
Chill:
-
Wrap the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap.
-
Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (this helps them firm up and slice cleanly).

-
Slice and serve:
-
Unwrap and cut each roll into 1-inch slices.
-
Arrange on a platter and serve cold or at room temperature.
-
Tips & Variations:
-
🧀 Spicy version: Add a dash of chili flakes or chopped jalapeños.
-
🥬 Veggie version: Skip the meat and load up with lettuce, spinach, and roasted peppers.
-
🧄 Mediterranean twist: Use hummus instead of cream cheese and add olives, feta, and sun-dried tomatoes.
-
🐟 Seafood version: Mix in canned tuna or smoked salmon with dill and lemon juice.
Would you like me to give you a sweet version of tortilla rolnice (like with Nutella and fruit)? It’s just as easy and perfect for dessert platters.
