If you’ve ever had Velvetta Rotel Taco Dip, you are going to love these pinwheels. They turn that beloved dip that was once featured at nearly every party into a simple finger food.
When I set these out at a recent party, they quickly became a favorite among the guests. I was asked at least a dozen times for the recipe. And when I said that it was the perennial favorite Velvetta dip in pinwheel form, I got a lot of “wow”s back.

They are incredibly versatile—feel free to customize the ingredients to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs. Whether you’re hosting a Super Bowl party, a birthday celebration, or just a casual get-together, these pinwheels are sure to be a hit!
Tips for Perfect Pinwheels
- Make Ahead: These pinwheels can be made a day in advance! Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
- Customize: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, especially if you’re too keen on the Velvetta. You can use other cheeses, but they likely won’t be as smooth and creamy as the Velvetta. You can also use ground turkey, chicken, or another protein, if you want.
- Presentation: For an extra touch, garnish your serving platter with fresh cilantro or lime wedges to enhance the taco theme.
