PINWHEELS 3 WAYS

Steps:

• For the base spread and tortillas: Mix together the cream cheese and pesto until well combined. Lay out the spinach, whole wheat and jalapeno-Cheddar tortillas and divide the cream cheese mixture among them. Using a spoon or offset spatula, spread the mixture all the way to the edges of each tortilla.
• For the veggie pinwheels: Evenly distribute the spinach over the top of the base spread on the spinach tortillas. Arrange the artichokes, green olives and sun-dried tomatoes over the spinach. Roll up the tortillas tightly and individually wrap in plastic. Set aside.
• For the meaty pinwheels: Shingle the cheese, pepperoni, salami and capicola onto the base spread on the whole wheat tortillas, slightly favoring one side. Roll up the tortillas tightly and individually wrap in plastic. Set aside.
• For the spicy pinwheels: Divide the pepper jack between the jalapeno-Cheddar tortillas topped with the base spread. Divide the arugula, sliced peppers and chopped cherry peppers between the tortillas. Roll up the tortillas tightly and individually wrap in plastic. Refrigerate the rolled tortillas for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Unwrap and slice each tortilla into 1-inch segments/pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve.

PIMIENTO CHEESE PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Combine the Cheddar, pimientos, cream cheese, mayonnaise, cayenne, scallions and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Use a potato masher to mash the ingredients together to make a cohesive spread.
• Lay the tortillas out on a work surface and evenly spread one-third of the cheese mixture on each, leaving a 1-inch border along the edge. Top each with 1 1/2 cups of the arugula. Roll the tortillas tightly, tucking the arugula in as you go. Lay the wraps on a platter seam-side down and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Transfer the wraps to a cutting board. Trim off the edges, then use a serrated knife to carefully cut them into 1-inch rounds. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

MUFFULETTA PINWHEELS

Starting at the top of each tortilla and about 1/8 inch down place a slice of ham, provolone, salami, and mozzarella slightly overlapping each slice.
• Roll the tortillas up and wrap in foil. Chill for at least 2 hours.
• Remove the foil and slice on a 45 degree angle into 1-inch pieces.

CREAM CHEESE TASTY TORTILLA PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Soften cream cheese, slice up your green onions and add your herbs -- I taste as I go and there are many combinations but this has been my favorite. Blend well and put your tortillas on a flat surface. Spread cream cheese mixture to edges and roll up.
• If you use the 6 inch tortillas it makes about 6 or 7 rolls depending on how thick you spread the cheese.
• Put in the refrigerator covered with saran wrap. Let them chill back until they are firm. Then remove and cut in 3/4 inch slices. Arrange on a dish with toothpicks and have your salsa in the center to dip!
• Delicious!
