How to Make Pimento Cheese Pinwheels

2. Spread a thin, even layer of the filling over each tortilla or wrap, leaving about a 1/2-inch border along one long side.

3. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log, ending with the clean edge to help seal it closed.

4. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap.
5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the pinwheels firm up for slicing.
6. Slice into pinwheels and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Expert Tips

• Use thin wraps or soft tortillas for easier rolling and cleaner slices
• Don’t overfill the tortillas or the filling may squeeze out
• Leave a clean border on one side to help seal the roll tightly
• Chill before slicing for neat, bakery-style pinwheels
• Use a serrated knife for the cleanest cuts

Storage Instructions

Store pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For the best texture, keep chilled until ready to serve. If making ahead, wait to slice until closer to serving time for the freshest appearance. It’s not recommended for freezing as it will compromise the texture.
