Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground meat
  • 1 Packet taco seasoning mix (or seasoning of choice)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 8 oz salsa of choice
  • 2 sheets Cold puff pastry
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with non stick spray.
  • Brown the meat and drain and return to the pain
    Add in the minced garlic and cook about 1-2 mins until well distributed.
  • Add in the taco seasoning packet and water. Mix well.
  • Add in the salsa and let cook about 2-3 mins, until well incorporated, set to the side.
  • Unfold the puff pastry on a flat surface.
  • Spread the meat mixture evenly on the dough.
    Sprinkle the cheese over top.
  • If you like your tacos extra cheesey, add cheese first, then meat, then top with more cheese.
  • Starting at the long edge closest to you, begin to roll up the dough (cinnamon bun- style).
    Roll it up tightly. Seal the edge all along the roll.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the roll evenly into one-inch slices for appetizer size and 2 inch
    slices for dinner portion sizes.
    Place the taco pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
  • Bake the pinwheels for 10 to 12 minutes or until the pinwheels are golden brown, for dinner sized they will need to cook 25-30min.
  • Serve hot with your favorite toppings, mexican rice or chips and salsa and enjoy!
