  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 large flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 can (15 ounces) refried beans
– 1 cup cooked ground beef or shredded chicken
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– ½ cup sour cream
– 1 small bunch of green onions, finely chopped
– 1 medium tomato, diced
– ½ cup black olives, sliced (optional)
– 1 cup shredded lettuce


Instructions

Creating Cheesy Taco Pinwheels is an enjoyable experience when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cooked ground beef or shredded chicken with the taco seasoning. Mix well to ensure the meat is evenly coated.

2. Spread the Refried Beans: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about ¼ cup of refried beans evenly over the tortilla.

3. Add the Meat: Spoon a portion of the seasoned meat onto the beans, spreading it evenly across the tortilla.

4. Layer with Cheese: Sprinkle a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the meat, ensuring even coverage.

5. Top with Vegetables: Add a layer of chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, black olives, and shredded lettuce on top of the cheese.

6. Spread the Sour Cream: Finally, drizzle a couple of tablespoons of sour cream over the filling for extra creaminess.

7. Roll the Tortilla: Starting at one end, roll the tortilla tightly around the filling. Ensure it’s compact but not so tight that the filling squeezes out.

8. Chill the Roll: Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down on a plate. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas. Once complete, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

9. Slice the Pinwheels: After the chilling time, remove the rolled tortillas from the fridge. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels.

10. Serve: Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve with additional sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for dipping.

By following these straightforward steps, you can effortlessly create delicious Cheesy Taco Pinwheels that will wow your guests!
