Puff Pastry Taco Pinwheels
Puff Pastry Taco Pinwheels have taco meat, cream cheese, cheese, and veggies in puff pastry for an easy snack or party appetizer. These are Mexican-inspired pinwheels in flaky puff pastry, and you can even use leftover taco meat, veggies, and cheese to make them.
Ingredients
- 1 cup prepared taco meat
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup finely chopped veggies such as green and red bell peppers, tomato, and green onion
- ½ cup shredded cheese
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400℉.
- In a bowl, combine the taco meat, cream cheese, and veggies. Spread mixture evenly on pastry sheet.
- Sprinkle cheese over meat layer.
- Roll up the dough to form a log and pinch the seam to seal (using a bit of water on your finger helps to get the seam to seal).
- Using a serrated knife, slice off the very ends and discard. Slice the remaining "log" into 12 pinwheels. Lay pinwheels on parchment paper on a bake sheet.
- Brush the dough with egg wash. Bake at 400℉ for 20 minutes or until golden outside and cooked through inside.
Notes
If parchment paper is not available, put pinwheels to bake on sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
