In honor of Super Bowl Weekend....

I think it is only appropriate to do appetizers that are SUPER easy yet everyone will LOVE! Whether you are throwing a Super Bowl Party or just taking a dish to a party I can provide you with all the options you will need! Hardest part will be choosing which one you want to make!

Let's KICK this off (get it haha) with PINWHEELS!
Who doesn't love pinwheels...they are the ultimate easy finger food and a recipe makes so many! My 2 favorite and super easy pinwheel types are Mexican Pinwheels and Ranch Pinwheels.

Mexican Pinwheels

You will need:

• 1 package of the taco size flour tortillas (you can also use wheat ones)
• 1 block cream cheese, softened
• 1 package of taco seasoning
• 1 small can chopped black olives
• 1 small can, drained, chopped green chilies
• 1/2 of a lime

Directions:

• In a medium size bowl, mix together cream cheese, taco seasoning, olives, green chilies, and squeeze in the lime juice. make sure to mix it until the taco seasoning is completely mixed in.
• Spread evenly over each flour tortilla and roll up one by one.
• Instead of cutting them right away, through trial and error I have learned a trick to make them stay together and cut perfectly! Roll each tortilla and then wrap them individually in cling wrap or press and seal wrap. Then place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. I prefer to do mine the night before and leave them in there over night. It really helps the flavors develop and makes them set up perfectly.
• After being in the refrigerator, unwrap from the wrap and slice! (Do NOT unwrap the actual tortilla with filling just take the wrapper off)

**You can also add a small can of canned shredded chicken into the mix!

Ranch Pinwheels

You will need:

• 1 package of taco size flour tortillas (you can also use the wheat, spinach, or sun dried tomato ones)
• 1 block cream cheese, softened
• 1 package hidden valley ranch dry mix
• 1 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• Mix ins are pretty much endless for this one! You can use 1 cup of bacon, can of shredded chicken, tomatoes, tomatoes bacon and lettuce together, olives, pineapple, chopped dried beef, anything!! It can make so many different combos!

Directions:

• Mix together in medium bowl, cream cheese, shredded cheese, ranch mix, and any add ons you have chosen. Make sure to mix until the ranch mix is completely mixed in.
• Spread evenly over each flour tortilla and roll up one by one.
