Nacho Pinwheels

I love football season--fall leaves, relaxing weekends, competition, and food!! But, I have gotten to the point where I want better snacks than a bowl of 'Chips & Salsa'.  I want interesting with a twist, something "new"...and, I want it easy to make!

What could be better than bite-size '7 Layer Dip' in one? Baking with Blondie offered a solution, but I found that the 'crunch' was missing--it tasted like classic 7 Layer Dip, but when rolled into a soft tortilla the refried beans, sour cream, and avocados made everything 'soggy' and 'mushy'--ike eating spoonfuls of dip without the crunch of the tortilla chips or their flavor! I decided to tweak this with a few layers of crushed tortilla chips!

See what you think of my take on this when you tailgate this weekend!
