Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2-3 teaspoons sriracha to taste
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and minced
  • 1/2 red or orange pepper finely chopped
  • 2/3 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices crispy cooked bacon finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoon red onion minced
  • 4 10 inch tortillas

Instructions

  • Beat cream cheese, sour cream, and sriracha until smooth. Stir in jalapeno, bell pepper, cheese, bacon, and onion.
  • Divide evenly over flour tortillas.
  • Roll very tightly and slice into 1/2 - 1 inch pieces, discarding ends.

Notes

  • Soften the cream cheese to make it easier to mix and spread.
  • Chop bacon, jalapenos, and vegetables very fine.
  • Try to choose jalapenos that are mild.  Remove seeds and membranes.  See my section on picking mild jalapenos.
  • Roll tortillas as tight as you can without squeezing out all the goodies.
  • Discard end pieces unless you want to save them for a snack for yourself or the kids.
  • This pinwheel recipe can be prepared ahead of time and wrapped in plastic wrap, refrigerated, and cut right before serving.
