Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, gather all ingredients and equipment needed. This will help you stay organized and ensure you have everything you need while cooking.
  • Choose the right tortillas: Use fresh tortillas that are pliable and won't crack when rolling. Look for corn or flour tortillas that are about 6-8 inches in diameter.
  • Properly season the filling: The filling should be flavorful and well-seasoned. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and seasonings to create a delicious and balanced flavor profile.
  • Spread the filling evenly: When spreading the filling onto the tortilla, make sure it is evenly distributed. This will help ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.
  • Roll the tortilla tightly: Roll the tortilla up tightly, starting from one end and rolling towards the other. This will help keep the filling inside and prevent it from spilling out.
  • Use toothpicks to secure the pinwheels: To prevent the pinwheels from unrolling, insert toothpicks through the center of each pinwheel. This will help keep them intact while cooking.
  • Cook the pinwheels until golden brown: Cook the pinwheels in a pan with a little bit of oil over medium heat. Cook until they are golden brown on all sides. This will give them a crispy exterior and a tender, flavorful interior.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Serve the pinwheels with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
