Notes
🥕This recipe yields approximately two dozen ½" thick pinwheels. Increase your ingredients as needed for the number of guests you're serving. Chances are you'll likely have extra tortillas since this recipe only requires 3 tortillas for 24 pinwheels.
🥕Keep it colorful! Make your fiesta pinwheels extra festive by using a combination of plain, spinach and sun-dried tomato tortillas along with bright red, orange, yellow and green peppers.
