- 8. Serve

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For best results, chill the rolled tortillas before slicing to ensure clean, even pinwheels. Use a very sharp knife and slice gently to avoid squashing the wraps. Preparing the julienned vegetables uniformly helps create a pleasing texture and bite in every pinwheel.
