To Make Chicken Enchilada Pinwheels, start by mixing softened cream cheese with Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce. I prefer the medium or hot enchilada sauce, but used mild this particular day because I was feeding a bunch of little guys. Choose whatever level of spice you like best.

The cream cheese and enchilada sauce give the pinwheels a rich zesty flavor!

Roll each pastry sheet into a log and freeze for just 15 minutes to firm the dough before cutting.

Serve the Chicken Enchilada Pinwheel Recipe as-is, or top with silky Crema Mexicana (Mexican style sour cream) and a little more cilantro.

You can serve them straight out of the oven, but they are also good at room temperature.

If you want to make the rolls a day or two ahead, wrap them tightly in plastic and place them in the fridge, not the freezer.

YUM! Enchilada Pinwheel Recipe | ASpicyPerspective.com

Your game day guests are going to go nuts for these zesty cheesy little snacks. 

I’d call that a touchdown!

Chicken Enchilada Pinwheel Recipe

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Easy 7-Ingredient Chicken Enchilada Pinwheel Recipe, perfect for parties and tailgating! Simple pinwheel recipes are what make holiday entertaining a snap.
Servings: 40 pinwheels

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry,  thawed
  • 1/2 cup Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce (Spicy or Mild)
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 3/4 cup chopped cilantro divided
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican style cheese
  • 1/2 cup crema Mexican optional (Mexican-style sour cream)

Instructions

  • Place the cream cheese in a small bowl. Add a couple spoonfuls of the enchilada sauce and mix until smooth. Add a couple more spoonfuls of enchilada sauce to the cream cheese and mix until smooth again. Repeat until 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce is mixed into the cream cheese. (If you add it all at once, you'll have lumps.)
  • Lay both puff pastry sheets out flat on a piece of wax or parchment paper. Spread half the cream cheese mixture over each sheet. Then sprinkle half the shredded chicken, half the shredded cheese, and 1/4 cup cilantro over each sheet. One at time, tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log. Wrap both rolls in the parchment paper and freeze for 15 minutes only, to firm the pastry slightly.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a serrated knife to cut each pastry roll into 20 thin slices. Lay them flat on the baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden.
  • Allow the pinwheels to cool a little, then top with a drizzle of cream mexicana and a sprinkle of cilantro. Serve warm or at room temperature.
