Pinwheels are always a popular snack, and these have a special twist:

Diced jalapeño pepper and McCormick Gourmet™ Organic Cayenne Pepper add a fun and spicy kick that will have your guests asking for the recipe.

Do you ever find yourself in a lunchtime rut?

Since being at home a lot more than usual over the last few months, we had fallen into a routine of rotating the same few options over and over again. It was time to throw something new and different into the mix.

I love these Pimento Cheese Pinwheels because they’re a fun alternative to traditional sandwiches. And they’re so easy to make!

The key to success for making these delicious homemade pimento cheese pinwheels is getting the spice mixture just right. Using high-quality ingredients makes all the difference!

For this recipe, I used McCormick Gourmet™ Organic Cayenne Pepper and McCormick™ Onion Powder.

I picked up both in the spice aisle of my local Giant.

I like this grocery store – it’s clean, bright, and super easy to navigate. They also offer same-day curbside pickup and delivery options, which makes my life easier.

What to serve with Pimento Cheese Pinwheels:

These pinwheels are delicious on their own or as a tasty addition to a Game Day appetizer spread.  

We also love these savory rollups with a simple salad or side of fresh fruit for a quick and easy lunch at home.

For a kid-friendly lunch on the go, Spicy Pimento Cheese Pinwheels and chips or pretzels, along with fresh veggies like cucumber slices or baby carrots are always a hit.
