- 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
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.
- 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.
