Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar Pinwheels
I was looking for something easy to take to a gathering and needed it to be a cold food item. I started thinking about pinwheels and got inspired to make these. They were quick, easy and tasty. Here is how to put them together.
First gather the filling ingredients. If you let your cream cheese soften for a while, it will be easier to work with.
You will need to cook your bacon or use bacon bits, shred your cheese and chop your peppers. All you need to do is mix everything together. I used a fork and found that worked well.
After your ingredients are all mixed, lay your tortilla wrap on the counter and spread the mix out almost to the edges.
Then you just start on one end and roll as tightly as possible. After you have nice long roll ups you can put them in the fridge for a while to harden and make them easier to cut. If you don’t have time you can skip that step. Lastly you just cut into about one inch slices and enjoy!
Note: The filling can easily be made ahead of time and you can just put them into the wrap the day of your event. That is what makes this such a great appetizer to take to your next party. Also, if you have any filling left that didn’t fit into the wraps, it makes a great topper for baked potatoes.
