Notes
A Few Tips...
- Be sure to evenly divide the filling and spread it into an even layer! If you have too much filling it could squeeze out the ends of the tortillas when you roll them up. Also, if they have too much they might not hold together well.
- Don't skip the chilling step! It might be tempting to just wrap and serve them, but giving them time to chill does a couple of things. First, it allows the flavors in the filling to fully develop so they will taste amazing. Chilling the rolls also helps the pinwheels hold their shape once you slice them. They won't fall apart!
- When you're ready to serve them, use a sharp knife and use a sawing motion to slice them. That way you won't smoosh them and they'll have a better shape.
