Jalapeno Cranberry Pinwheels
These Jalapeno Cranberry Pinwheels were the perfect mix of sweet and spicy and made for a pretty amazing appetizer recipe.
You can control the heat level with how much of the canned jalapenos you add, and by getting either mild or spicy peppers.
I added the whole four ounce can of spicy and they really brought the heat.
Or you can add half of the jalapenos or use the mild peppers for less spicy pinwheel.
Either way, the sweet cranberries and creamy cheese will help to balance out the spice.
How to Make Jalapeno Cranberry Pinwheels
I have two blocks of cream cheese at room temperature.
I actually smoked mine on my pellet grill at 180 degrees for two hours on foil.
That’s an option if you have a smoker, but not neccessary.
Also a bag of dried cranberries, two cups shredded cheese, and a can of diced jalapenos.
Or half the can if you don’t want them super spicy.
Simply add it all into a large bowl.
Along with a tablespoon dry ranch seasoning.
And mix it all up together until it’s evenly combined.
Spread it somewhat evenly over four large burrito size tortillas.
It’s not difficult to spread, but it did take a minute because of the cranberries, plus it’s a pretty thick mixture.
I left some room at the top because when rolling them tightly, some of the filling will move up and take up that extra space.
Refrigerate them before slicing for at least an hour.
Then use a good, sharp knife to slice them.
I had the best luck using a serrated bread knife.
Jalapeno Cranberry Pinwheels are a fun and festive appetizer that’s sure to be the hit of any party or celebration đŸ™‚
