How the heck is it football season already? While I may not care much about the actual game (sorry football lovers), I DO care about the snacks that will be eaten during the game.

Please tell me I’m not alone.

This year, Trevor and I are determined to bring our tailgating A game.

I’m already brainstorming all the snacks I’m going to make: Crockpot Chex Mix, One Bowl Brownies, Queso, and now, these BBQ Chickpea PinWheels <— because you can’t tailgate without a recipe containing cream cheese and BBQ flavors, amiright?!

These little pinwheels are perfect for snacking while standing (and let’s be real, probably holding an adult beverage in the other hand) and can definitely be made for a crowd.

Tortillas + cream cheese + a few other mixins…. what’s not to love?!

chickpea pinwheels in basket

bbq chickpea pinwheel being picked upPinwheels have always been one of my all time favorite snacks. They’re easy to eat, can make a enough for two or enough for a crowd, and hellooooo it’s tortillas and cream cheese. I mean. Y.U.M.

Every time I’ve made pinwheels, however, they’re either

A. Made with chicken

or

B. Vegetarian, with no protein whatsoever.

While these BBQ Chickpea Pinwheels aren’t healthy in the least 😉 , I wanted to up the protein to keep everyone full longer AND still keep them vegetarian.

Enter: chickpeas.

You guyyyyys. Chickpeas are like my fave vegetarian protein source.

They’re versatile and just so so yummy.

While the chickpeas are the star of this recipe, the other ingredients include: cream cheese, Stubb’s Bar-B-Q Spice Rub <– a perfect blend of sea salt, paprika and black pepper, monterey jack cheese, flour tortillas, celery, cilantro, red onion, and extra Stubb’s BBQ sauce for dipping, of course.

All you’re gonna do is mix together softened cream cheese, jack cheese, and the BBQ seasoning together, which, btw Stubb’s rubs are a great way to EASILY add flavor (but not the fat, calories, artificial flavors, etc. that are often found in other brands) to all your fave tailgating foods. Spread that creamy, smokey, cheesy deliciousness on the flour tortilla <– OMG, then sprinkle on the hearty chickpeas, crunchy celery, fresh cilantro, and bright red onion.

Roll ’em, slice ’em, serve ’em, and you.are.DONE!

As you can see, these BBQ Chickpea Pinwheels are ridiculously quick and easy to put together.

Even better? They’re totally delicious. I love the combination of the tangy cream cheese, the slightly smokey perfectly spiced rub, the hearty chickpeas, and the fresh, crunchy celery.

It’s just the perfect tailgating food and I promise everyone will love ’em.

    5 stars I don’t like football, but I’ll go for the tailgating! Haha, especially if these were being served!! What a perfect recipe. My favorite tailgating food is definitely any kind of finger food, but mostly consists of….what else? Chips, salsa, and guac. 😉
