Description

Delicious taco pinwheels that combine your favorite taco flavors in a crispy, creamy bite. Perfect for parties or as a fun snack!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked ground beef or turkey, seasoned with taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sour cream (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked ground meat, diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions until well blended.
  2. Spread an even layer of the filling mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Starting from one end, tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape.
  4. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Remove the plastic wrap and slice each log into 1-inch pinwheels.
  7. Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and a side of sour cream.

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Uncooked pinwheels can be frozen for up to 3 months.
