Taco Pinwheels

tortillas (burrito size)

cream cheese (softened)

taco seasoning

chicken

red bell pepper

green bell pepper

guacamole or salsa for serving.

In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, taco seasoning and cheddar cheese until well combined.

Add the chicken, bell peppers and cilantro into the cream cheese mixture and stir until combined.

Lay one of the tortillas flat on a cutting board and spread approximately 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture all over the tortilla.

Roll up tightly.

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.

Place the tortilla rolls on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Chill for at least one hour or up to one day.

Slice the tortilla rolls into 1 inch pinwheels and serve, with guacamole or salsa for dipping if desired.

An easy, fun and tasty appetizer or meal, these Taco Pinwheels use an array of Mexican inspired flavors to create a crispy, meaty, cheesy treat

beef

garlic (minced)

Tablespoon chili powder

salt

pepper

cumin

onion powder

oregano

paprika

puff

shredded Mexican blend cheese

Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Place the beef into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and crumble meat until brown. Drain excess grease from the meat then place meat back into the skillet.

Add in the minced garlic, chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika and undrained Rotel. Then stir and mix everything well. Cook for 3-4 minutes, take it off the heat and set it aside.

Unroll the thawed puff pastry on a flat surface. Roll or press it into a large rectangle (about 18 inches long). Set the rectangle so that the long edge is parallel with the edge of the counter.

Spread the meat mixture evenly all over the dough then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.

Starting at the long edge (closest to you), begin to roll up the dough (cinnamon roll style). Roll it up tightly and seal the edge all along the roll.

Use a serrated knife to cut the roll evenly into one-inch slices. (If the knife gets the filling on it, wipe it with a wet paper towel in-between cuts.)

Place the taco pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the pinwheels are golden brown.

These are best served hot. Serve with garnishes of your choice.
