Do I need to use both the Salsa and the Taco Seasoning?
I am sure that using just one would taste fine, but to obtain a true Mexican flavor to these unique pinwheels, using both Salsa and Taco Seasoning is suggested.
Can I use Mexican Blend Cheese rather than the Cheddar Cheese?
Certainly! The Cheddar blends well flavorwise, yet, the Mexican blend Cheese is a great idea.
How long can I store these in the refrigerator?
The mix could be kept in an airtight container for up to 4 or 5 days. Once the pinwheels are made, I would suggest keeping them in the refrigerator for no more than 3 days.
