It’s taken me some time to get this recipe to you, as I made these Air Fryer Pinwheels as part of my Super Bowl Snack Week on TikTok (@katescuisine5 if you don’t follow me there already). Of all the recipes I made that week, though, these pinwheels were by far the easiest. The hardest part is probably remembering to take the cream cheese out of the fridge an hour or so earlier to ensure it is super soft. When playing around with this recipe I also found that it’s super important to lay the pinwheels seam-side down in the air fryer. This prevents all of that delicious cheese from spilling out of the pinwheel and into the bottom of the fryer.
Ingredients:
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons hot pepper jelly
2 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
3 green onions, sliced
1 cup Cheddar cheese
1 burrito-sized tortilla
Directions:
1.) Add cream cheese and pepper jelly to a medium-sized bowl and mix well.
2.) Add bacon, green onions, and Cheddar cheese and mix again.
3.) Place cheese mixture into the centre of the tortilla and spread to the edges, leaving about 1/2″ space around the sides.
4.) Roll the tortilla tightly, starting with the longest edge and tucking the tortilla under tightly as you go.
5.) Using a serrated knife, slice the tortilla into 1″ pieces.
6.) Spray the air fryer with non-stick cooking spray. Place the pinwheels seam-side down into the air fryer.
7.) Air fry for 5 minutes, until cheese is hot and bubbling and edges of tortilla are starting to brown and crisp.
8.) Serve and enjoy!
