Tortilla Pinwheel Appetizers

Tuesday, March 9, 2021
These are going to be the easiest appetizer/orderve ever using tortilla wraps and making these mini roll-up pinwheels!


I have fillings with Italian, Mexican, and French ideas that will take care of every party member that loves something different, and they're made in minutes!


I use simple deli meats, shredded lettuce, favorite cheeses, and viola instant appetizer rolls sliced and perfect for any function, lunch, an appetizer, and any entertainment needs.


Of course, if you have creative ideas to use up leftovers, I would love to hear your ideas also, the possibilities are endless with fillings!


If you love making appetizers you may also like to try our 30 Appetizers and Side Dish roundup, something for everyone and all easy recipes to make.


These are also a big hit with my assortment of fillings on Game Day or any holiday, especially using a coordinating color to match, spinach and tomato wraps are perfect for Christmas!


The fillings are all not only easy to make even the kids can help and a great learning experience in the kitchen.


One of my very favorites is an all-vegetarian wrap, my husband loves meat-filled the more the better and leaves out the lettuce, again there is something for all your family's favorites here.


Scroll down to my printable recipe card I have many filling ideas for your next picnic, dinner party, or just a great snack for lunch!

I love how versatile these appetizers are to make using flour tortilla.


Leftovers are great to use in fillings also like turkey or chicken.


Just adding your favorite spreads like cream cheese or some hummus will start endless varieties of finger foods everyone will love.


You could even freeze the turkey or chicken for this use at another time.


Whether you make these into a BLT, all vegetarian, or spread with your favorite cold cuts, these will feed a large crowd at any gathering and are the perfect little bundles of yum.

  • fancy greens, romaine lettuce, or spinach leaves shredded or finely chopped

  4. Roll them up tightly to form a log shape.
  5. Wrap them in wax paper.

  7. Vegetarian: I add everything to a food processor and blot dry then no cream cheese, adding chopped fine avocado, olives, lettuce, cucumber, drizzle with Greek dressing or your favorite

    1. I have been making these roll'ups for years. They are always a huge hit. You can choose any type of filling and they are always a success. I use the large flour ones and each one has at least 8-10 pieces, and my grandkids love them as they are the perfect bite.
