  • Author: Dulcia

  • Yield: approximately 10 large pinwheels 1x

Description

Perfect for your next gathering or a delightful snack, Taco Pinwheels are an easy-to-make and scrumptious treat. With a rich blend of cream cheese and taco seasoning, coupled with the tangy kick of Rotel tomatoes and a sprinkle of fiesta cheese, these pinwheels pack a flavorful punch in every bite-sized piece.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packs cream cheese, softened
  • 1 pack taco seasoning
  • 1 can Rotel, mostly drained
  • 1 pack burrito-size tortillas
  • Fiesta cheese

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with taco seasoning using a mixer until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
  2. Step 2: Add Rotel Stir the mostly drained Rotel into the cream cheese mixture gently to avoid crushing the tomatoes, ensuring it’s evenly incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Spread on Tortillas Lay out a burrito-size tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla.
  4. Step 4: Add Fiesta Cheese Sprinkle fiesta cheese on top of the cream cheese layer. Use enough cheese to cover the cream cheese lightly but evenly.
  5. Step 5: Roll and Slice Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other to ensure the filling stays inside. Slice the rolled tortilla into bite-sized pinwheels across the roll.
  6. Step 6: Chill Before Serving Place the cut pinwheels in the refrigerator to chill for a while. This firming process makes them easier to handle and enhances the flavors.
