Here's a quick rundown of the dip ingredients:

To make delicious pinwheels, you'll need to start by softening the cream cheese. This can be done by letting it sit at room temperature for a bit or by microwaving it for a few seconds.

Mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch and taco seasonings together with an electric mixer until well combined. For the Fiesta Ranch Pinwheels, you'll need 1 8-ounce package of cream cheese, ½ cup of sour cream, 2 tablespoons of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning, and 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning.

Add the salsa, ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and black olives to the mixture and stir until just combined. For the Fiesta Ranch Pinwheels, you'll need ½ cup of salsa, 1 ½ cups of cheddar cheese, and 15-20 large black olives.

To assemble the pinwheels, lay out a tortilla and spread the delicious mixture in a thin layer, leaving about a half-inch of the tortilla un-slathered around the edges. This will help prevent the filling from squishing out when rolling.

Here's a quick rundown of the ingredients you'll need for the Fiesta Ranch Pinwheels:

Once you've assembled the pinwheels, refrigerate them for at least 4-5 hours (or until firm) before cutting into approximately ½ inch pinwheels. This will help the filling set and make them easier to serve.
