How to Make Veggie Pinwheels

Once you chop up your veggies, making a batch of veggie pinwheels is so easy! Just blend the filling, spread it on the tortillas, sprinkle on the veggies, and roll them up. Cut them into one-inch slices and you are ready to go.

Ingredients for Veggie Pinwheels

Flour Tortillas. Four large tortillas make a nice plateful of pinwheels, but you can double, triple, or quadruple this recipe for a large event.

Cream Cheese. Regular or low fat will both work for the pinwheels. I don't recommend generic brands.

Sour Cream.

Dry Ranch Seasoning Packet. If you prefer., you can use ¼ cup homemade ranch seasoning.

Shredded Carrots. You can buy these already shredded to save yourself time.

Broccoli. At your local grocery store, you might even find a broccoli slaw with carrots and broccoli shredded together which would be perfect.

Mushrooms. Finely chopped. Shitake mushrooms have a lovely flavor but any mushroom will work for this.

Red Bell Pepper. Diced small.

Step-By-Step Instructions

  1. Add cream cheese to a medium bowl, and smooth it out with a fork.
  2. Add sour cream and ranch seasoning to the bowl and stir together, until it is all fully mixed.
  3. Chop/shred your veggies.
  4. Lay the tortillas out flat and scoop ¼ of the mixture onto each one, then spread it out to cover the entire tortilla.
  5. Spread out a ¼ cup of each - carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, and bell pepper onto each of the tortillas.
  6. Start at one end, and tightly roll the tortilla.
  7. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  8. Remove from the refrigerator, and cut off the ends of each tortilla, then cut the rest into 1-inch slices.
  9. Set cut side up on a platter, and serve.\

  • Spatula
  • Knife

Tips for the Veggie Pinwheels/Veggie Roll Ups

Room temperature cream cheese will be easier to mix up.

If it will be a while before you will serve the veggie pinwheels, keep them stored in the refrigerator. If you've made a large batch, only pull out a smaller amount at a time.

Change up the flavor! Try a different seasoning mix for a completely different appetizer. Try Thousand Island, Poppyseed, Italian, or Caesar seasonings. Add a little hot sauce or specialty sauce to change it up even more.

Change up the veggies and you'll have something completely different! Try lettuce and tomatoes with a taco seasoning packet.

FAQ

How to store leftover pinwheels?

These are actually fabulous in a lunch box! Make up a batch at the beginning of the week and keep them refrigerated in an airtight container, or go ahead and put them into individual serving-size containers so they are grab-and-go.

Can I freeze veggie pinwheels?

Yes. However, cream cheese may change in texture once frozen and it can be off-putting. You might rather just send home small bags of them with several different party guests instead.

    These are one of my favorite recipes ever. I even can cut them up even smaller, if you can believe that, for Rider. And the kids like them in lunchboxes.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little.
