Notes
- Using fresh, flavorful ingredients will elevate the taste of your pinwheel. Have the deli cut your meats and cheese fresh if possible.
- Roll the tortilla tightly but gently to prevent any filling from spilling out. Use your fingers to press down gently as you roll to ensure a compact and even roll.
- Accompany the pinwheels with a dipping sauce such as marinara sauce or a balsamic reduction for additional flavor and flair.
- Use the sharpest knife in your block to slice the pinwheel into individual servings. A sharp knife will make clean cuts without squishing the roll, resulting in neat and attractive pinwheels.
