Ingredients
For the Chicken Taco Pinwheels
- 12 oz Cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ½ cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded chicken (you can pick up a pre-made rotisserie chicken at your grocery store and shred it)
- 1½ tbsp Tone's® Taco Seasoning
- 1½ cups Shredded Mexican cheese
- 10 oz (1 can) Diced tomatoes with green chiles, very well drained
- 1½ tsp Garlic, minced
- 5 Green onions, sliced thinly
- ¾ cup Cilantro, chopped finely
- 8 Burrito sized flour tortillas
For the Homemade Pizza Rolls
- 1 (8 oz) can Crescent rolls
- 40 slices Pepperoni
- 4 sticks Mozzarella string cheese, cut in half
- Tone's® Italian Seasoning, for sprinkling on top of pizza rolls
- Pizza sauce, for dipping
Instructions
For the Chicken Taco Pinwheels
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients (except the tortillas), stirring until well combined.
- Lay a tortilla on a clean work surface and spread about ¼ cup (or more if you'd prefer) of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a ½ to 1-inch border all around.
- Start at the bottom of the tortilla and roll up tightly towards the top. Place roll seam side down on a large plate or platter.
- Repeat rolling process with remaining tortillas. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to several hours to chill (the colder they are, the easier they are to slice).
- Use a sharp, serrated knife to slice roll into 1-inch pinwheels and serve.
For the Homemade Pizza Rolls
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Unroll crescent rolls and separate into 8 triangles. Place 5 slices of pepperoni on each crescent roll. Top pepperoni with string cheese piece. Roll the crescent roll up tightly, starting from the bottom of the triangle.
- Sprinkle crescent rolls with Tone's® Italian Seasoning, as desired.
- Place rolls on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warmed pizza sauce for dipping.
