Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Taco Pinwheels
- Cook the Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic until the onion is translucent. Drain excess fat and let cool slightly.
- Add Seasonings: Return the skillet to low heat and stir in chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder, oregano, and paprika. Pour in Rotel and 2 tablespoons of water. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Unroll the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle.
- Fill the Pastry: Spread the cooled meat mixture evenly over the pastry and sprinkle a layer of cheese on top.
- Roll Up the Dough: Starting from the long edge, roll the pastry tightly into a log and seal the edge well.
- Slice the Pinwheels: Slice the rolled dough into 1-inch thick pinwheels and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake pinwheels for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let cool for a few minutes and serve with garnishes.
