Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas use gluten-free if preferred
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes oil-packed, drained and chopped
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves rinsed and dried
- 1/2 cup vegan cheese shredded (optional)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder optional
- Red pepper flakes optional, for a bit of heat
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with the lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Mix well to combine.
- Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spread each tortilla evenly with the mashed avocado mixture.
- Distribute the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and spinach leaves evenly over the tortillas. Sprinkle with vegan cheese and red pepper flakes if desired.
- Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly to ensure the fillings stay in place.
- Chill: Wrap the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up. This makes slicing easier and keeps the fillings intact.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the rolled tortillas from the refrigerator. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch thick rounds.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately.
Notes
- Tortilla Choice: Use soft, room-temperature tortillas to prevent cracking when rolling. Warming them slightly can make them more pliable.
- Variations: Customize the fillings based on your preferences. Consider adding things like sliced olives, diced red onion, or chopped cilantro for additional flavor and color.
- Make Ahead: These pinwheels can be made a few hours in advance and kept refrigerated until ready to serve. They are best enjoyed the same day.
