Low Carb Pinwheels with Bacon and Cream Cheese

This is a relatively quick and easy recipe that you can customize to your own tastes. I believe bacon makes everything better, but you can use another type of lunch meat in place of the bacon if you prefer. Layer your favorite ingredients on top of a grid of lunch meat, roll and enjoy!

Servings: 10

Ingredients

8 slices of ham or salami lunchmeat thick sliced (or double up thinly sliced lunchmeat)
5-8 slices bacon cooked
4 oz cream cheese softened
1-1/2 teaspoons homemade ranch seasoning *see note
1/4 cup black olives chopped

Instructions

Place the ham down on a cutting board in overlapping rows 4x2.
Spread cream cheese over the salami. If your cream cheese is too hard to spread with a knife, you can try placing it between two sheets of wax paper and rolling it flat with a rolling pin and then placing it onto the salami or ham.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning on the cream cheese and then add the black olives. (alternatively, you can blend seasonings into cream cheese before spreading).
Lay the strips of bacon across the cream cheese in the short direction.
Carefully roll the pinwheels - long side to long side, rolling as tightly as possible.
Hold the roll securely and cut into 1-2" pieces.
Serve as an appetizer or wrap each piece individually with plastic wrap for single-servings.

Notes

Make your pinwheels super cheesy with a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the bacon bits.
Do not skip the plastic wrapping step if you want your roll-ups nice and tight, as this helps keep the tortilla tightly wrapped.
If the cream cheese spread is not spreading easily across the ham, microwave it for 10 seconds to warm it up. Alternatively, you can mix some sour cream with the cream cheese filling to make it more spreadable.
Pinwheels are fantastic for dipping in a homemade enchilada sauce, ranch dressing, or sour cream.
Use a piping bag for the cream cheese filling to spread it over the ham easier and quicker without any mess.
