Description
These baked taco pinwheels are crispy, golden bites filled with seasoned ground beef—perfect as a fun appetizer, game day snack, or quick dinner with your favorite dips.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (raw)
1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning)
1 small onion, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
4–5 large flour tortillas
Olive oil or melted butter, for brushing
Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Prepare Beef Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, taco seasoning, chopped onion, and parsley. Mix until evenly blended.
Assemble the Rolls
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the raw beef mixture over the tortilla, all the way to the edges.
Roll and Slice
Tightly roll up the tortilla from one end. Slice into 1–1.5 inch thick rounds using a sharp knife.
Bake
Arrange the pinwheels flat on a baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until beef is cooked and tortillas are golden.
Serve
Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or crushed red pepper to the beef mixture.
You can also add shredded cheese to the filling before rolling for extra gooeyness.
