Jalapeno Chicken Crescent Pinwheels
My notes:
-Next time around I would add shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese for more flavor, probably 1/3 cup.
-These are best eaten the same day, as refrigerating them tends to make the crescent dough soft.

These look delicious! My husband will love these, may try these for football this Sunday!
Could these be made using flour tortillas and then served cold?
Yep I think that would be fine. The chicken would probably have to be pretty finely chopped.
