Ingredients
-
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
-
1/2 cup pepper jelly (any flavor you love)
-
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled turkey bacon
-
1/4 cup chopped green onions
-
1 large (10–12 inch) flour tortilla
-
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the pepper jelly, turkey bacon, and green onions until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Build the Pinwheels: Place the tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving a slight border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
-
Roll and Chill: Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other. Wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up—this makes slicing much easier.
-
Slice and Air Fry: Once chilled, unwrap the tortilla and slice it into 1-inch pinwheels. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the pinwheels in a single layer in the basket (avoid overcrowding) and air fry for 5–7 minutes, or until golden and melty.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Let the pinwheels cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a flavorful appetizer or snack!
Notes
-
You can swap turkey bacon for regular bacon if preferred.
-
For a spicier kick, try using jalapeño pepper jelly or add some diced jalapeños to the filling.
-
These pinwheels are best served warm, but they can be made ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to air fry.
