Fiesta Pinwheels

They were a big hit with the family when I first presented them to them 11 years ago. To get the most incredible flavor ever, you must consume all the components at once.

This was really good, I made it exactly as the recipe given. Next time I will omit the sour cream because it was a little too runny. Flavor was fantastic!
Bryce Bennett
Delicious! I did modify the recipe just a bit. I added a can of chicken, 1 extra tb of homemade taco seasoning, non-fat greek yogurt for the sour cream, and preshredded mexican cheese blend. Very tasty.
Joel Duncan
A family favorite, make it all the time for the Hollidays
Derrick Johnson
I threw in some cilantro just because I had some on hand. Great make ahead for a baby shower in this case. Can’t go wrong!
Thomas Garcia
This was good. Made it for myself to have at home but yes like the description says would be suited more as a appetizer for a gathering. I’m tempted to do that. Thanks for the recipe.
Zoe Mills
Everyone loved these! Very good recipe.
Veronica Bartlett
Omit the taco seasoning . I found it too overpowering.
Samantha Mcintosh
Great flavor and easy to make. Definitely must try this recipe.
Willie Jacobson
Quick and easily made with ingredients usually on hand. This time, though, I didn’t have picante sauce. Just chopped a tomato to substitute. A little milder this way — not that they are that spicy. They were very popular with the kids!
Jonathan Robinson
Didn’t have garlic powder. Subbed cayenne pepper. It was a hit at my tailgate. Works great to make the night before

I made these for a Christmas Eve buffet, and they seemed to go over well. I did make them the day before so they would stay together better. I used habernero-lime tortillas and some plain. For personal preference, I did make some changes. I subbed salsa for the picante sauce and used red and green chopped peppers in place of the olives. I added some chopped green onions and skipped the green chilies. Thinking it could use a little spice, I added a few shakes of cayenne pepper, and that was a mistake. I like spicy, and that made them too spicy for me. It would have been fine with the just the medium salsa I used. A good recipe that has unlimited options as to what can be added. I wouldn’t stray from veggies, though.

I can say they were a Big Hit!
Caitlyn Juarez
These are quite good. Made as-is with more salsa to dip in when serving.
Heather Smith
We substituted some of the ingredients and it was wonderful. I’m doing a cooking class with individuals with intellectual disabilities and this was a great recipe to start with. Everyone loved it.
Lauren Garcia
It was ok, my family didn’t like it much tho, won’t do this one again
Micheal Whitney
Didn’t add the picante sauce instead just dipped in salsa afterwards. Would have tasted great dipped in guacamole too.
Allen Phillips
Really delicious…I subbed shredded chicken for the olives…mmmm!
Paige Brown
We loved them! I doubled the recipe & made the gordita sized wraps & added 2 C cooked diced chicken to it & 4 sliced green onions- wow!
Latasha Torres
I’ve made these a few times for pitch-ins and they are always a hit! I also leave out the olives.
Sharon Santiago
Just made these and stuck them in the fridge for tomorrow night. Our 3rd year in a row making them for NYE. Can’t say enough good about them! They are a big hit every time.

I had no expectations of liking this myself. However, I used a habernero flavored tortilla wrap, fresh salsa, green, red, and yellow pepper. Had no taco seasoning so I used some Chipotle Chili Powder and a little siracha. Wrapped some in plain tortillas for people who don’t like spicy – I announced I had them at work and in less than 30 minutes they were GONE. I loved the habernero wrap, gave it just the right kick. Will make these again for a party for certain!
