  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 40 pinwheels
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup salsa or picante sauce
  • 1 packet taco seasoning or Hidden Valley Ranch Fiesta Seasoning Dip
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
  • 5 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • Optional dipping sauces: additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole

Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • 1/4 cup green onions or chives, finely chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Stir in salsa and seasoning mix, then fold in shredded cheese.
  • Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous amount of filling evenly, leaving a small border.
  • Roll and Chill: Tightly roll up the tortilla into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Repeat for all tortillas.
  • Slice and Serve: Remove the plastic wrap and slice into 1-inch pinwheels. Serve with optional dipping sauces.

Notes

  • To prevent sogginess, use tortillas that aren’t overly moist and avoid overfilling with salsa.
  • For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or hot salsa to the filling.
  • Best served cold or at room temperature.
