Using a spoon or offset spatula, spread the mixture all the way to the edges of each tortilla.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Use fresh, pliable tortillas that are not too thick or too thin. Corn tortillas are a good option because they are more flexible than flour tortillas.
  • Spread the filling evenly: Do not overload the tortillas with filling, or they will be difficult to roll up. Spread the filling evenly over the tortillas, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Roll the tortillas tightly: Roll the tortillas up tightly, starting from one of the short sides. Make sure to tuck in the sides of the tortillas as you roll them up.
  • Chill the pinwheels before slicing: Chilling the pinwheels for at least 30 minutes before slicing will help them hold their shape. You can also freeze the pinwheels for up to 2 months.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Tortilla pinwheels are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Tortilla pinwheels are a quick and easy appetizer or snack that can be made with a variety of fillings. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or lunch boxes. With a little creativity, you can create endless flavor combinations that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give tortilla pinwheels a try!
