  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Notes

*If making ahead, roll each tortilla and wrap in foil or parchment. Refrigerate until ready to serve, then slice and enjoy!
Storage: Leftovers will last for up to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container. These are super easy meal prep pinwheels!
Deseeding your jalapeno: Use gloves if possible to avoid having to scrub your hands endlessly to get the spice off them. It also helps to use a spoon to scoop out the seeds to avoid touching the seeds directly.
