In a small mixing bowl, add 4 oz of cream cheese, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon of sweetener, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Mix the ingredients together until smooth.

Take out a large tortilla or a couple of small ones (6 inch) and add some or all of the mixture onto the tortilla, evenly distributing it.

Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of crunchy peanut butter on top of the mixture.

Optionally, use powdered peanut butter mixed with a little water for a lower fat version.

Top with sugar-free chocolate chips.

Roll the tortillas up tightly.

Coat the rolled tortillas with a little melted butter or cooking spray.

Cut the rolled tortillas into pinwheels.

Place the pinwheels onto parchment paper and transfer them to the air fryer.

Set the air fryer to 375°F and cook for around 6 minutes, checking for doneness when they look golden brown.
