luvbug00 replied: r'nt they the tortillas rolled up with meat and chees inside like sandwiches.

gr33n3y3z replied: well we make chicken pin wheels at school but I dont think thats what they want ...... chicken and stuffing mixed together and you roll out dough and put the mixture on the dough and roll it and seal off the ends and then you slice it down and lay it flat and bake it.

Maybe something like cinnamon and sugar pin wheels?

luvbug00 replied: Ohh that sound good!! resipie to share maybe??

ammommy replied: These women would definately want the meat variety. Thanks. now that I know what to look for, I can search my recipes

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: My mom makes taco pinwheels. It is Taco seasoning and cream cheese. I am not sure of all the ingredients, but there are so many different varities you can make. I bet www.kraftfoods.com would have a good recipe.

3'smom replied: I buy flour tortillas. I spread cream cheese on them, and put chopped green onions and finely cut dried beef on them. Roll them up and slice them. The dried beef is in a jar. just ask at the grocery store and they should tell you where it's stocked. They are very good.

paradisemommy replied: i always took cream cheese and mixed in salsa and chopped up ham (lunch meat)and round onion (if you like)..spread it out on a tortilla wrap and roll it up and cut in about 1 cm slices and eat...YUM

coasterqueen replied: Gee, if you wouldn't have said you were referring to pinwheels as a food I would have described something much different.

I don't know anything about the food variety.

SOUTHERN MOMMY replied:
Thats what i was thinking also but my mom makes the kind with meat i have no idea hun you might want to ask them which one they want or you could take both kinds

Boys r us replied: they also sell cookies called pinwheels..they're big fluffy marshmellow puffs on a graham cracker crust covered in hard chocolate, made by nabisco...I know b/c I had a fetish with them when I was preggo with Brae!!

just the way I told it is how you do it
we dont use recipes at work lol
bake it at 350 until the dough is cooked and top it off with gravy before serving
