Quick and easy recipe to make ahead for a party or a meal prep option, then these cream cheese and salsa pinwheels are perfect for you! With minimal prep work, this dish can be made ahead of time and enjoyed by all.
Ingredients:
- 1 block of cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 jar salsa
- 1/2 packet of taco seasoning (or whole, or none)
- 1 can of corn, drained
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- Few teaspoons of sour cream (optional)
- Few handfuls of shredded cheese
- Green onions (optional)
- Burrito-sized tortillas
Directions:
- In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, salsa, taco seasoning, drained corn, and drained black beans. Add sour cream if desired to create a slightly thinner mixture.
- Spread an even layer of the mixture onto a tortilla shell.
- Roll up the tortilla tightly and wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture and tortillas.
- Refrigerate the rolls for a few hours, or overnight, to allow the mixture to firm up a bit.
- When ready to serve, slice the rolls into pinwheels and place on a platter. Garnish with shredded cheese and green onions if desired.
Step 6: Once all of your tortillas are rolled up and wrapped in plastic wrap, refrigerate them for a few hours. This will allow the mixture to firm up a bit, making it easier to handle and cut into slices later on.
Step 7: After a few hours in the refrigerator, remove the plastic wrap from each roll and slice into bite-sized pieces. You can serve these cold or heat them up in the microwave or oven until the cheese is melted and the filling is warm.
Step 8: Optional toppings include extra shredded cheese and chopped green onions. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa or sour cream.
