Description

These easy 7-ingredient Mexican-Inspired pinwheels are a must try! They make for the perfect appetizer or lunch and are even great to take on the go! We love bringing these along with our summer picnics and packing them for school lunches.


Ingredients

  • 8 large (12-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 cups vegan refried beans (homemade or store bought)
  • 1 cup vegan cream cheese (homemade or store bought)
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1 cup pico de gallo
  • 1 cup fire roasted corn (or regular corn kernels)
  • ~2 cups fresh spinach or lettuce

Instructions

  1. If the tortillas are not soft and pliable, warm them up on a pan on the stove until soft or in the microwave with a damp towel on top for about 30 seconds.
  2. Grab one of the tortillas and spread 1/4 cup of refried beans over half of it. Next, spread on 2 tablespoons of cream cheese over about 1/4 of the remaining tortilla and then fill the last bit of the tortilla up with guacamole. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons each of pico de gallo and corn plus about 1/4 cup spinach.
  3. Roll the tortilla up tightly and wrap tightly in either plastic wrap or parchment paper. If using parchment paper, twist the ends in to make sure it stays tight. Continue with the remaining ingredient and tortillas.
  4. Place the rolled pinwheels into the refrigerator for about 2 hours or overnight. This is key as it will help it retain its shape.
  5. Remove the pinwheels from the refrigerator, remove the wrap you used and slice into 1/2-inch pieces with a sharp knife.
  6. Serve and enjoy!
