It’s get collectively time!!  Okay perhaps no longer truly get collectively time, but one chunk of those Mexican pinwheels and you’ll assume there’s a get collectively going on!  I in reality had those at a get collectively with my in-laws, and my mother-in-law had made these.  Like me, she likes to cook, so naturally we have been speaking concerning the food, and she stated that she’d discovered this recipe on Old El Paso‘s site.  After watching it over, and making a few tweaks of my own, I created natural deliciousness!

I like a LOT of cilantro flavor, so if you’re no longer a vast fan, truly sense unfastened to regulate that quantity in your liking.  As a bonus, those aren’t spicy in any respect (that we noticed), so even the kiddos can snack on those Mexican pinwheels!  You might also test with unique flavored tortillas simply due to the fact the wraps… like perhaps a spinach one?  I knew there was NO method I’d get a inexperienced tortilla by my kids, so I didn’t even strive it lol.

Speaking of kids, for those who have them, are they out of faculty for the summer time yet?  My oldest (the in simple terms 1 in school) has been out for over 2 weeks and we’ve already hit the “I’m soooo bored” stage.  Good grief.  After concerning the third time of listening to her say that, I escorted her out to the kitchen to assist me roll the tortillas for those pinwheels… boredom solved!

Thankfully, equally children are enrolled in a fun summer time camp via my son’s pre-school… so they’re fully immersed in that and all of the assorted fun sports and area journeys to cross on, rather of lounging round the home staring on the tv or complaining lol.

Okay, again to those pinwheels lol.  While those are PERFECT for a party, they’re also fun to have as an afternoon snack or a fun dinner (I desire to pair them with a salad… this one is my fav!).  There’s anything so ridiculously fun about getting to devour including your arms isn’t there?

I assume those Mexican pinwheels are quite wonderful as is, but when you’re searching for a few unique add-ins or toppers, proper correct listed below are a few first-class options:

finely minced jalapeños (fresh or canned)
roasted poblanos
minced sautéed onions
cooked small corn kernels
drizzle sour cream over the upper (or Mexican crema)
scoop a few guacamole on upper earlier than consuming (try this one!)
experiment with a unique sour cream to cream cheese ratio (the extra sour cream you use, the “wetter” the filling will be)

Like with most pinwheels, as soon as you roll up the tortilla, you’ll desire to relax them within the refrigerator (the entire rolls) for a bit, so they agency up.  Otherwise, whilst you cross to slice them, they’ll get mashed and form of fall apart… absolutely no bueno!  Oh, and a pointy serrated knife makes cutting the 1 inch sections a breeze!  I used my bread knife, which was doubtless overkill… but let’s be honest, it was the in simple terms blank serrated knife, simply due to the fact I. hate. doing. dishes.  I can’t be by myself in that, proper you guys?

I truly wish you all supply those a try… regardless of even if it’s for a party, cookout, snack or dinner… I truly assume you’ll love them as a lot as we certain do!
