Jalapeno popper pinwheels are the perfect bite-size appetizer to feed a hungry crowd! These are even better baked in the oven, trust me! you can serve them cold or warm, both are irresistible.
When looking for an appetizer to feed a crowd, one of the main demands is that it is easy to assemble and that it can be prepared ahead of time.No one wants to be stuck in the kitchen while everyone is hanging out in the living room. Right?
My mother-in-law asked me to make an appetizer for a family gathering, and when I was brainstorming what to make, I remembered the jalapeno poppers I made for our last potluck and how much everyone loved them. At first, that is what I wanted to make, but then I opened my fridge and only found only 1 jalapeno. I thought why not roll it up into amazingly tasty tortilla roll-ups? So I did! and it was delicious! Everyone at our family event loved them.
Perfect appetizer for hosting
Are you going to a football game or a potluck? Will you be hosting a game day party?! I for one, love the party-hosting part even more than the football part lol.Although, I must admit I love gathering friends and family together androoting for their favorite football team.
Jalapeno popper pinwheels are the perfect appetizer to feed hungry mouths! This appetizer has bacon, cream cheese, ranch, cheese, garlic, cilantro, and fresh jalapenos for a little kick! What a fantastic combination of my favorite flavors!
Broil them!
The day after a family event we had a few left over, they were a little soggy. So I thought I would put it on a skillet with some cooking spray. And let me tell you! it was so good! the cheese melted and the tortilla has gotten perfectly crispy. It was a perfect snack!
Ingredients
- 8 oz room temperature cream cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 large fresh jalapeno or 2 small jalapenos ( you can adjust this to your spice level)
- 5 oz canned chunk white chicken (or shredded rotisserie chicken)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3-4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 strips of fried bacon
How to make Jalapeno popper pinwheels
First start with frying 8 strips of bacon in a pan on medium-high heat, until it gets a beautiful golden color. Once the bacon finishes cooking, take it out onto a paper towel to soak up the grease. Let the bacon cool down.
After the bacon has cooled down, chop it into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl 8oz of room temperature cream cheese with 1/4 cup ranch and mix with a fork until it’s smooth.
To the mixing bowl add the chopped bacon.
Next, wash and dry 1-2 jalapenos (depending on the size of the jalapeno, and the spice level you’d like) Cut it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Chop the jalapeno into small pieces as well. Add it to the mixing bowl.
Then, peel 2 garlic cloves and put them through a garlic press to mince them. Add to the bowl as well.
Drain 5oz of canned chicken (or 5oz of a shredded rotisserie chicken) then add it to the cream cheese.
To the bowl add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, and 1/4 chopped cilantro.
Give everything a good mix.
Lay a tortilla out on a plate and spread an even layer of the bacon and cream cheese mixture all the way to the edges (about 2 to 3 tbsp).
Roll up the tortilla into a log, cut off the ends of the tortilla roll then cut it into 1-inch slices.
Serve cold or warm, both ways are scrumptious.
Broil the jalapeno popper pinwheels
To warm them place the jalapeno popper pinwheels on a baking sheet pan with parchment paper. spray the parchment paper with a little bit of cooking spray. Place the pinwheels facing up on the baking sheet. Turn the oven to a broil and place the jalapeno popper pinwheels inside the oven.
Broil them for 4 minutes. Watch them very closely, as the broiler is very strong and the pinwheels can burn easily.
Pin it for later!

Рецепт
Халапеньо с курицей на тортилье — идеальная закуска размером с кусочек, чтобы накормить голодную толпу! Они еще лучше запекаются в духовке, поверьте мне! Вы можете подавать их холодными или теплыми, оба неотразимы.
курица с халапнео на лепешке – идеальная закуска, чтобы накормить голодных ртов! В этой закуске есть бекон, сливочный сыр, ранчо, сыр чеддер, чеснок, кинза и свежий халапеньо для небольшого удовольствия! Какое удивительное сочетание моих любимых вкусов!
ингредиенты
- 8 унций сливочного сыра комнатной температуры
- 1/4 стакана соуса ранчо
- 1 большой свежий перец халапеньо или 2 маленьких халапеньо (вы можете отрегулировать по своему уровню остроты)
- 5 унций
- куска белой курицы (или измельченной курицы-гриль)
- 1/4 стакана нарезанной кинзы
- 2 зубчика чеснока
- 3-4 большие мучные лепешки
- 1 чашка тертого острого сыра чеддер
- 8 полосок жареного бекона
как приготовить курицу с халапеньо на лепешке
Сначала обжарьте 8 полосок бекона на сковороде на среднем огне, пока он не приобретет красивый золотистый цвет. Когда бекон приготовится, выложите его на бумажное полотенце, чтобы впитался жир. Дайте бекону остыть.
После того, как бекон остынет, нарежьте его небольшими кусочками.
В большой миске смешайте 8 унций сливочного сыра комнатной температуры с 1/4 стакана ранчо и перемешайте вилкой до получения однородной массы.
В миску добавить нарезанный бекон.
Затем вымойте и высушите 1-2 халапеньо (в зависимости от размера халапеньо и желаемой остроты). Разрежьте их вдоль пополам и удалите семена. Перец халапеньо также нарежьте небольшими кусочками. Добавьте его в миску
Затем очистите 2 зубчика чеснока и пропустите их через чеснокодавку, чтобы измельчить. Добавьте также в миску.
Слейте 5 унций консервированной курицы (или 5 унций измельченной курицы-гриль), затем добавьте ее к сливочному сыру.
В миску добавьте 1 стакан тертого сыра чеддер, нарезанный бекон и 1/4 нарезанной кинзы.
Дайте всему хорошее смешивание.
Выложите лепешку на тарелку и равномерно распределите смесь бекона и сливочного сыра до краев (примерно 2–3 ст. л.).
Сверните лепешку в рулет, отрежьте концы рулета из лепешки и нарежьте на ломтики толщиной 1 дюйм.
Подавать холодным или теплым, оба варианта вкусны
ЖАРИТЬ ИХ
Чтобы разогреть их, положите курицу с халапеньо на лепешке на противень с пергаментной бумагой. сбрызните пергаментную бумагу небольшим количеством кулинарного спрея. Поместите игольчатые колеса на противень лицевой стороной вверх. Включите духовку на жаровню и поместите в духовку колесики для приготовления халапеньо.
Обжаривайте их 4 минуты. Следите за ними очень внимательно, так как бройлеры очень крепкие, а вертушки могут легко сгореть.
