Time 2h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

8 ounces light cream cheese
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies
1 (10 ounce) can refried black beans
1 (10 count) package flour tortillas

Steps:

Mix the cream cheese and taco seasoning together. I don't use the entire can of Rotel tomatoes or Refried beans. About 4 tablespoons of each into the mixture. But you can adjust to your taste.
Evenly divide the mixture between the tortillas and then roll them up tightly. Cover with saran wrap and chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
Then cut them up into slices discarding (or eating!) the ends. Very easy but very good with a kick!
The great thing is that you can mix in your own favorites into the recipe. Black olives, pimentos, etc.

Ingredients

12 ounces cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup sour cream
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Jack cheese
½ cup salsa
2 cups shredded chicken
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
2 green onions thinly sliced
4 ounces sliced olives drained
1 tablespoons cilantro
4 flour tortillas (12-inch)

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chicken and sour cream. Use a hand mixer if you have one to make sure it's really well combined.
Stir in salsa, shredded cheese and taco seasoning, then gently fold in green onions, olives and cilantro.
Lay one tortilla on a flat surface and spread ¼ of the chicken mixture evenly on the tortilla, leaving about 1/3 of an inch around the edges.
Roll tortilla into a log shape. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, then refrigerate logs for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
When ready to serve, remove logs from the refrigerator. Unwrap and slice into even pieces using a sharp, serrated knife. Secure pinwheels with toothpicks if desired.
Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Tips:

For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with black beans or tofu.
Use a variety of vegetables in your pinwheels, such as bell peppers, onions, and spinach.
To make the pinwheels easier to roll, place the tortilla in a damp towel for a few minutes to soften it.
If you are using a large tortilla, cut it into quarters before filling and rolling.
To prevent the pinwheels from drying out, wrap them in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before storing them in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Mexican pinwheels are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that can be made with a variety of ingredients. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique pinwheels that everyone will love.
