Ingredients for Pinwheel Sandwiches

Tortilla pinwheel sandwiches are tasty little snacks that can also be served as party appetizers. They are so easy to make! Our Mediterranean pinwheels swap the traditional cream cheese spread for a smooth hummus. And the best thing about these is that they’re versatile! Keep them vegetarian and use crisp veggies, or add your favorite sliced or cured meat like roast beef or salami for an extra bit of protein!

You will need:

• Flour tortillas or Lavash flatbread
• Hummus
• Arugula
• Cucumber, thinly sliced
• Feta cheese
• Red onion, thinly sliced
• Peppadew deli peppers, thinly sliced

How do you Make Pinwheel Sandwiches?

These Mediterranean pinwheels take only minutes to prep! The crunchy veggies are rolled up into a soft tortilla with a creamy hummus spread that is complimented by the distinct feta flavor. There’s so much going on in each little bite, you’ll definitely need a second helping!

1. Spread on the hummus: On each of the tortillas (or flatbread), spread a layer of hummus over the entire surface area (all the way to the edges).
2. Top with veggies: Scatter arugula over the hummus, then top with the slices of cucumber, red onion and Peppadew peppers. Sprinkle on the feta.
3. Roll the pinwheel sandwiches: Roll the tortillas or flatbread up tightly, keeping the veggies snug inside. Slice the tortilla pinwheels into 1-inch sections with a sharp knife. Arrange them on a platter.

This Mediterranean pinwheels recipe makes about 20 pinwheel sandwiches.

Expert Tips for the Best Results:

• Any type of flatbread will work for this pinwheels recipe, as long as it is soft and flexible. It should be soft enough to roll tightly without breaking.
• Since you’ll want to roll the pinwheels tightly (and easily), we recommend using a vegetable peeler to shave the cucumber into thin slices. If you don’t have one, simply slice the cucumber into thin matchsticks.
