Ingredients
8 ounces softened cream cheese
2 cups finely shredded Mexican blend cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped pickled jalapeno peppers
6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
avocado oil spray
taco sauce for serving
Instructions
1. Stir softened cream cheese, shredded Mexican cheese, and chopped jalapenos together in a bowl until fully combined.
2. Spread the mixture evenly across the six tortillas, leaving a small border at the edges.
3. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down.
4. Trim the ends of the rolls and slice into individual pinwheel discs.
5. Preheat your air fryer to four hundred Fahrenheit.
6. Place pinwheels in the basket, spray with avocado oil, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until golden.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid tearing tortillas.
Drain pickled jalapenos thoroughly to prevent sogginess.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping.
