Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free) These serve as the base. Use your favorite type for a personal touch.
  • 1 cup Creamy spread (vegan cream cheese or hummus) This adds richness. Consider a homemade version by blending soaked cashews with garlic and lemon.
Filling Ingredients
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach or kale Great way to sneak in some greens. Substitute with arugula for a peppery kick.
  • 1 cup Bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange) Chopped finely for crunch and color. Swap with cucumbers for a crisp texture.
  • 1 cup Shredded carrots Adds sweetness and a delightful bite. Zucchini can also be used.
  • 1 cup Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or basil) Choose what you love for a bright flavor that elevates the dish.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt For seasoning.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper For seasoning; add favorite spices for extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing and chopping your vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces. The smaller they are, the easier they will roll.
  2. Take a tortilla and spread a generous layer of vegan cream cheese or hummus evenly across the surface.
  3. Place a handful of fresh spinach or kale on top of the spread, covering the tortilla well.
  4. Sprinkle chopped bell peppers and shredded carrots across the greens. Add fresh herbs for aromatic touch.
  5. Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  6. Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly, ensuring all fillings are snug inside.
  7. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into pinwheels, aiming for about 1-inch thick pieces.

Notes

If leftovers remain, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. These pinwheels taste fantastic cold or at room temperature.
