No-Bake Jalapeño Popper Pinwheels

No-Bake Jalapeño Popper Pinwheels

Creamy, cheesy, and just the right amount of spicy — these easy roll-ups are perfect for parties, game day, or quick snacks.

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 20–24 pinwheels)

• 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

• ½ cup cooked bacon, finely chopped

• 2–3 fresh jalapeños, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)

• 2 tbsp green onions, sliced

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ¼ tsp smoked paprika

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Filling
   In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, bacon, jalapeños, green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

2. Spread & Roll

   • Spread an even layer of filling over each tortilla, going all the way to the edges.

   • Roll tightly into a log.

3. Chill
   Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (this helps them slice cleanly).

4. Slice & Serve

   • Trim off the ends.

   • Slice into ½–1 inch pinwheels.

   • Serve chilled or slightly softened at room temperature.

🔥 Tips & Variations

• Extra spicy: Leave some jalapeño seeds in or add a dash of hot sauce.

• Milder version: Use pickled jalapeños instead of fresh.

• Healthier swap: Use light cream cheese or Greek yogurt cream cheese.

• Make ahead: These keep well in the fridge for up to 2 days.
