As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received two free bottles of Pace Picante Sauce and a challenge to use it in a Super Bowl party-worthy recipe.
Don't know about you, but my idea of a Super Bowl Sunday fare is something simple, that can be prepared ahead of time, and that transports easily, since I'm not usually the one hosting such affairs. This appetizer recipe I created is so easy that a child could do it. It's also been kid taste-test approved by my boyfriend's eleven year old son. Hope you like it, too.
Recipe makes 1 pinwheel sandwich, 8 bite-sized slices each.
Ingredients:
1 whole wheat flour tortilla (I used La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious)
5 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
8 oz cream cheese (I used Kraft Philadelphia 1/3 Less Fat)
2 tbs Pace Picante Sauce (I used mild)
2-3 romaine lettuce leaves, chopped (or any crunchy lettuce)
Mix the picante sauce and cream cheese with a fork until well blended.
Cover the tortilla with an even layer of the picante cream cheese mixture.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the cream cheese.
Cover the bacon with an even layer of chopped lettuce.
Roll the tortilla up, tightly and evenly.
Cover the rolled sandwich with plastic wrap.
Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes (up to a few hours, if desired.)
Once the chilled picante cream cheese is firmed up, slice into 8 pieces.
It's yummy, affordable, and won't make you a kitchen slave that misses out on the game!
