Instructions

  • For the first three pinwheels: Place the tortillas on a large cutting board. Add the spreadable ingredient (hummus, cream cheese, or pesto) to each tortilla, spreading into an even layer all over the surface of the tortillas. Divide the remaining ingredients evenly between the tortillas, layering them in the center of each.
  • For the chicken salad pinwheel: Place the tortillas on a large cutting board. Add four leaves of butter lettuce to each tortilla. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, Dijon, celery, salt, and pepper. Stir until all of the chicken is evenly coated with the yogurt mixture. Divide the chicken salad mixture evenly between the tortillas, spreading it into an even layer.
  • To roll the pinwheels: Take the bottom of the tortilla and fold it about ⅔ of the way up and over the vegetables. Using your fingers, pull back on the folded-over portion of the tortilla to create the start of a tight spiral.

Notes

Note: The nutrition card reflects information for the Hummus & Veggies pinwheel recipe variation.
My Top Tip: Work on a flat surface like a cutting board, countertop, or even a clean sheetpan. It may be tempting to make the pinwheels on a plate, but the slight rise of the edges will make it harder to roll your tortillas tightly.
Storage: The spiral sandwiches taste best fresh, because the tortillas get soggy the longer they sit. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. The Hummus and Everything Bagel pinwheels will last up to 4 days, while the Turkey and Chicken Salad pinwheels may only last 2–3 days.
