TIPS AND TRICKS
Storage: If you have any leftover jalapeno popper pinwheels, I recomment keeping it stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat leftovers, I recommend reheating in an airfryer. It helps with keeping the crunch of the flakey pastry.
Substitutions: If fresh jalapeños aren't on hand, diced pickled jalapeños are a great substitute. To save time, I used bacon bits for this recipe. However, fresh bacon is also a delicious option. It will provide great flavor!
