Southwest Chicken Pinwheels

Notes:

  • The sour cream makes these more moist than your typical pinwheel appetizer that only contains cream cheese. Therefore, I recommend preparing these 1 hour before you plan to serve them. These will not store well, so throw away any leftovers.
  • Please check out bottom of the post (under the directions) if you’d like to see photos of the entire cooking process.
