Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla (burrito size)
- 8 ounces hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Lebanese Hashweh – Ground Beef with Pine Nuts
- 1 Roma tomato (seeded and diced)
- 4 ounces crumbled Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley
- Toothpicks (to secure)
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the Lebanese Hashweh – Ground Beef with Pine Nuts by following this recipe; set aside.
- To assemble the pinwheels, lay the flour tortilla on a cutting board then spread with hummus leaving a 1/4 inch of space around the edges. Next, top with the cooked hashweh followed by the tomatoes, feta, and parsley.
- Similar to wrapping a burrito, begin very slowly and carefully rolling the tortilla in to one long log. Don't be afraid to tighten as you wrap, this will help keep the pinwheels in place. Once wrapped, use a sharp knife to slice in to 1-inch pinwheels. Secure with one or two toothpicks then place on a platter to serve.
