Game Day Appetizer – Texas Sushi Pinwheels

If you know anything about college football, you know that there was a BIG upset this past weekend … a HUGE upset.

And I think my husband is STILL dancing with joy over it.

Picture it: my house in College Station, Texas (home of the Fightin’ Texas Aggies), our visiting family and my husband all wearing their Texas A&M attire, grown men JUMPING UP AND DOWN and darn near crying as they realized their team had upset #1 Alabama.

(Later, as we went on our first date night in months, the game was just about the only topic of conversation.  The. Only. Thing. We. Talked. About.)

But, I’ll admit, it was fun — having my husband’s entire family over, kids running around and playing, cheers and intermittent groans coming from the living room. I love having family in our home and cooking for them, offering food that will energize their bodies and spirits for stress of watching a game on the television.

Chipotle Bacon Pinwheels Recipe

This pinwheels recipe for Texas Sushi (aka Chipotle Bacon Pinwheels) was a flavor experiment; this past summer, I had the chance to work with a professional chef during a camping excursion. He introduced me to Chipotle Tabasco sauce and, swoon, my world hasn’t been the same since. It isn’t fiery hot like some pepper sauces; instead it’s got a rich, smokey flavor with the perfect, enjoyable amount of heat.  And it’s awesome on nearly everything you put it on or mix it with. Promise.

Using only eight ingredients, these pinwheels pack a punch of flavor thanks to that smokey, tangy flavor of the Chipotle Tabasco, crisped bacon, and fresh green onions.  Mix it all up and slather it on fresh (or premade) flour tortillas.  You can pile as much of the cream cheese mixture as you wish — I kept mine relatively thin and “bite-sized” since I was feeding kids in addition to the game-obsessed adults.

Warning: be prepared to fight eating ALL of them as you make them.  They are addictive!!!!

    The sushi looked so attractive and dainty. It really does seem attractive and very easy to eat. Where can I get tabasco sauce?

    I love Tabasco sauce on my eggs but the chipotle Tabasco sounds even better! Though the bacon makes it a bit more manly, these Texas sushi rolls would perfect for a tea party too. I think my kids would them!

    Chipotle Tabasco? I am so going to make these! I had to share these football cookies that I will be making this weekend when UCLA plays USC. It is a BIG rivalry for us here in Southern California and I am a huge Bruin fan!Congrats on beating Alabama – that is a tough team!

    Another Aggie on the 5M4M team — whoop!

    Whenever I make the standard cream cheese/salsa roll ups, they get a BIG happy response. I’m going to make these next time. Yum.
