Chef's Notes
My esteemed students, never underestimate the power of a fully whipped cream cheese layer! If your cream cheese is too cold, it will tear the delicate tortillas. Let it soften just enough to spread like a dream of buttery clouds before you begin your noble conquest.
Pro Tip
When wielding the blade to slice your chilled cylinders into rounds, wipe the knife clean with a damp towel between cuts. This minor adjustment guarantees pristine edges that will make rival monarchs weep with pure, unadulterated culinary envy.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Beware, amateur wrappers! If you attempt to slice these pinwheels while they are still warm and limp from the counter, or fail to heed the sacred chilling slumber of two full hours, you will witness a tragic cream-cheese explosion that reduces your majestic royal feast into a pathetic, soggy mortar of torn tortillas and sad, sliding ham.

Why do these pinwheels need two hours in the fridge? They're clearly just trying to avoid interacting with the other appetizers.
The Culinary Science
Chilling the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for two full hours allows the fats in the whipped cream cheese to solidify slightly, acting as a molecular anchor that holds the spiral shape intact during the aggressive slicing phase.
