  3. Evenly spread the cheese mixture onto each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle diced bell peppers, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes over the cheese mixture.
  5. Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, starting from one end, and use a bit of cream cheese on the border to seal it shut.
  6. With a sharp knife, cut each rolled tortilla into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 2 inches thick.
  7. Arrange your pinwheels on a serving platter and serve with salsa for dipping.
