Tips:

  • Make these pinwheels a day ahead to save time. They can be stored for up to 24 hours.
  • To prevent sogginess, measure the sour cream accurately and don't drain the chiles. The liquid adds creaminess to the filling.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within a day or two for the best taste and texture.
