  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 24 pinwheels 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large soft flour tortillas (or spinach/tomato wraps)
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese or hummus
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced or julienned
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • Optional: chopped chives or dill
  • Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheese
  • Optional: thinly sliced olives or jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Warm tortillas slightly in the microwave (about 10 seconds) to make them more pliable.
  2. Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese or hummus over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  3. Layer the veggies in rows by color: red pepper, carrots, yellow pepper, cucumber, cabbage, and spinach.
  4. Add optional extras like herbs, cheese, or olives, but avoid overstuffing.
  5. Tightly roll each tortilla into a log, pressing gently to seal.
  6. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  7. Once chilled, slice each roll into 6–8 pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife.
  8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes

Make sure veggies are dry before assembling to avoid soggy tortillas. Use a sticky spread like cream cheese or thick hummus to help everything hold together.
