Ingredients

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/2 cup from 1 can (10 oz) Old El Paso™ Hot Red Enchilada Sauce or 1/2 cup from 1 can (10 oz) Old El Paso™ Mild Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 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)

Steps

  • 1
    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.
  • 3
    Preheat the oven to 400° 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.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make sure to chill the rolled pinwheel logs for easy cutting.
