Frequently Asked Questions
The best part about these tortilla pinwheels is that you can customize them any way that you like. If you like to add multiple types of luncheon meat to your sandwich, you can add them to these pinwheels. A delicious combination is a turkey and ham. An idea that many people do not think about is salmon and cream cheese. Add thin slices of smoked salmon with a thin layer of cream cheese for a twist on these tortilla pinwheels. Whatever your favorite sandwich combination, you can use to make your tortilla pinwheels.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to adding different cheeses. My personal favorite is cheddar cheese, but you can use whatever your family prefers. Any type of cheese you prefer with your lunch meat will work just right, however, you want to use cheese slices and not shredded cheese. You can go mild or wild with the cheese. There is no end to how you can make these incredible tortilla pinwheels
If you want to add a little bit of extra flavor to your tortilla pinwheels, you can try using flavored tortillas. There are so many different flavors on the market these days, and they all taste delicious. My personal favorite is the garlic and herb-flavored tortillas, but I also love the spinach tortillas. They add such a delicious flavor to the overall dish.
These tortilla pinwheels are good for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. It is best to wrap the whole tortilla log then only slice when ready to serve, but if you have leftovers after already slicing, just make sure they are in an airtight container. You can also cover them with plastic wrap to seal in the moisture on the tortillas.
If you have leftovers you won't eat within 3 days of preparing them, then pop them into the freezer. They are good for up to 3 months when tightly wrapped. I like to keep them whole and wrap them in plastic wrap then drop each "roll" into a large freezer storage bag. Thaw in the refrigerator before slicing to serve.
