2. Add the Goodies: Stir in the green onions, black olives, red bell pepper, and cheddar cheese. Mix well to combine. This is where your delicious Cream Cheese Tortilla Bites transforms into pure magic!

4. Roll It Up: Tightly roll up each tortilla. This is key for getting those perfect pinwheel slices. Pro tip for Cream Cheese Tortilla Bites perfection: Use a piece of parchment paper to help you roll the tortillas tightly.
