- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface or a plate. Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of the edge free.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll up the tortilla. Try to keep the roll as tight as possible without squeezing out the filling.
- Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
- Remove the wrap or foil and slice the rolls into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife.
- Arrange chilled pinwheels on a plate and serve. They can be accompanied by a dipping sauce like yogurt herb dip for added flavour.
Notes
Chop Vegetables: Make sure vegetables are finely chopped or grated. This helps roll the pinwheels easily and ensures they hold together well.
Make-Ahead: These pinwheels can be made a few hours ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to serve.
Roll Tightly: Ensure to roll the tortilla as tightly as possible without tearing it.
Chill Rolls: Wrap rolled tortilla in a clingwrap and keep it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to help the filling set and make it easier to slice the pinwheels cleanly.
Sharp Knife: Use a sharp knife to gently slice the pinwheels without squishing them.
