– 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

Instructions
Creating delicious Cucumber Dill Pinwheels can be straightforward by simply following these steps:
1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, then slice them lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler or mandolin.
2. Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla.
4. Layer the Cucumbers: Place a layer of cucumber strips over the cream cheese spread, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
5. Roll Up: Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly to form a log. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
6. Chill (optional): Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This helps firm up the pinwheels for easier slicing.
7. Slice: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into pinwheels about 1-inch thick. Make sure to cut straight down for nice clean edges.
8. Arrange: Place your sliced pinwheels on a serving platter, and garnish with additional dill if desired.
