    Bacon Jalapeno Popper Pinwheels recipe - Party Appetizer

    These Bacon Jalapeno Popper Pinwheels are the ultimate party appetizer. Tender flour tortillas are bursting with ranch-seasoned cream cheese, lively bits of jalapeno, and hearty chunks of smoky bacon.

    I spent the past week camping in Alaska, doing my best not to let the can of bear spray I purchased go to waste. Though I saw three grizzly bears at a distance, unfortunately, I purchased the bear spray for nothing. Too bad I didn't get attacked, I really hate wasting money. Oh well, after a week of eating freeze-dried camping food, I couldn't be more excited to be back to civilization eating my favorite foods again, like these Bacon Jalapeno Popper Pinwheels!

    If you are throwing a party, you need to put these Bacon Jalapeno Popper Pinwheels on your appetizer menu. They are filled with the classic jalapeno popper flavor you already love, but unlike their deep-fried counterparts, they can be made in advance. Your guests will have them devoured in no time!

    Though traditional jalapeno poppers don't typically contain ranch seasoning in the cream cheese, I think it is an important addition to these pinwheels. It really adds a lot of flavor and helps prevent the taste from being one-dimensional.

    This is also the perfect appetizer to make in advance because it tastes best when made in advance. Letting these sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or longer, helps the flavors meld together and softens the tortillas. These can even be made the day prior if you wish.

    Free tip: I did not include cheddar cheese in this recipe, but I strongly considered it. If you are dying to add cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese would be a great addition.

    I like serving food like this on stylish cutting boards, but any appetizer platter works well at a party. Quite honestly, your guests won't remember the serving tray, they will just remember your Bacon Jalapeno Popper Pinwheels!
