Ranch Fiesta Spirals

Ranch Fiesta Spirals are special! I doubt very seriously that you can stop at just one appetizer, either! They are extremely good. These delicious roll ups are filled with Ranch dressing mix, cheddar cheese, green onions, green chilies, red and orange bell pepper, cilantro and they are wrapped in spinach wraps. The taste, crunch, and co-mingling of all the ingredients is something extraordinary.

I was looking for another tasty pinwheel appetizer when I came across this great recipe and decided to give it a try. The recipe name seemed out of place so I renamed these Tex-Mex treats to better reflect their ingredients. Like all my recent posts, I made these for our Vacation Bible School team so they not only had to meet the approval of adults but also pre-teen kids and teenagers (who are much harsher critics of food than adults usually are!)

Well, hands down, the kids, teenagers, and adults LOVED these sumptuous spirals. There is just something about adding the Ranch dressing that flavors these roll ups so wonderfully.

If you’re on the lookout for a spectacular roll up to use as appetizers for an upcoming party or for company, than give Ranch Fiesta Spirals a try. They have awesome taste, a nice crunch, a little heat, and a subtle blend of foods and flavors that’s incredible. If you enjoy Tex-Mex spicy these are on the mild side with just enough kick–but you can always serve with salsa or hot sauce to add more zing for those who need REALLY spicy! We loved Ranch Fiesta Spirals and believe you will too.

Roll up as tightly as possible without tearing the tortilla. Keep rolling, tucking inside any filling that falls outside of the wrap.

These yummy pinwheels are great served with salsa. I offered a regular salsa and a pineapple mango salsa which everyone loved. The cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise and Ranch dressing mix provide a fabulous base for the other ingredients. We really enjoyed Ranch Fiesta Pinwheels and believe you will too!
