These appetizers really look and taste great! And they're really simple to make as well. The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled depending on how big a crowd your are making it for. Try using both green and red tortillas for a nice colorful platter. Cook time is for the filling's chill time.

  • Begin from the smooth half, and cut roll into 1 inch circles.
  • You should get 4 to 5 circles from each tortilla half depending on how well you tortilla"ends" hold together.
  • Arrange your pinwheels cut side up on your serving platter.
  • Cover and chill for up to one hour before serving.
