# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Once you slice the rolls, each pinwheel looks perfect—even if your spreading was a bit uneven.
  • The combination is satisfying but light, and they pair well with just about any party spread.
02 -
  • If you rush and slice before chilling, the pinwheels will mush and lose their shape.
  • Swapping in roasted peppers or whole wheat tortillas gives even the classic version a pop of flavor.
03 -
  • Letting the rolls chill is essential for easy slicing, so don't skip it.
  • Use parchment or plastic wrap to keep everything snug and stop the tortillas from drying out.
