Pinwheel Sandwiches - 4 ways
Description
This recipe creates four distinct pinwheel sandwiches using large burrito-sized tortillas as a base. Each variation starts with spreading a flavorful ingredient: hummus for veggies, cream cheese seasoned with everything bagel spice for cucumber and tomato, pesto for turkey and cheddar, and a chicken salad mixed with Greek yogurt, lemon, dill, Dijon mustard, and celery.
Fresh vegetable ribbons or slices and meats or cheeses are layered centrally before rolling the tortillas tightly to form spirals. Folding and tucking techniques help create tight, stable rolls that hold the fillings neatly. The varied fillings offer a range of savory and fresh tastes, from crisp carrots and zucchini to savory turkey, creamy cheeses, or tangy chicken salad.
These pinwheels are ideal for serving as finger foods at gatherings or as portable lunches. The recipe notes indicate nutrition facts correspond to the hummus pinwheel version.

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 tortilla.
- Divide any of the remaining ingredients evenly between each tortilla, layering them in the center of the tortilla.
- 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 chicken, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, Dijon, celery, salt and pepper. Stir until all of the chicken is evenly coated with the yogurt mixture. Add half of the prepared chicken salad on top of each, spreading it into an even layer.

- Prepare pinwheels in advance and wrap tightly to keep fresh for serving later.
