These spicy Mexican Tortilla Pinwheels are perfect for summer weather and make a great appetizer or quick meal!Mexican Tortilla PinwheelsWe are big fans of quick snacks and meals in our house because we are typically on the run after school, and one of our favorites just happens to be these super-easy to make (and eat) Mexican Tortilla Pinwheels. They make great grab-and- go eats since they are pretty mess-free and you can eat them in the car between activities without much fuss and no need for utensils. These roll ups also make great appetizers and tend to be a big hit at parties from the Big Game to award shows! You can make them in just a matter of minutes and if you have little ones like I do, they are easy enough for them to make too! As a busy momma, I love when my kids can help make their own meals!

I love adding some protein in our Mexican Tortilla Pinwheels by placing a few slices of deli meat on top of the cream cheese/salsa mixture. And one deli meat brand that I really like to use is HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® OVEN ROASTED DELI TURKEY, which you can find at most grocery stores for around $3.50.

I love that HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® products because…

  • they have no added preservatives
  • are 100% natural* with no nitrates or no added nitrates*
  • there are no artificial colors or flavors
  • they are minimally processed
  • they are wholesome and delicious clean eating: yes, please and thank you from this momma!!!

      Quick, easy not necessarily low fat exactly but healthy certainly: Tuna packed in Olive Oil, Salad from a bag, Grated carrots from a bag, grape tomatoes with Cardini’s dressing. You can make the same exact thing with turkey or ham sliced into strips. This is not news I realize that.

    68. Allison Swain says

      Usually a salad or baked potatoes and veggies.
