Recipe FAQs

How do I keep the pinwheels from falling apart?

Rolling the tortillas tightly and trimming the ends helps maintain their shape. Chilling them before slicing also firms them up for easier cutting.

Can I use other cheese types instead of provolone?

Yes, mild cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack work well, adding creamy texture without overpowering flavors.

What spreads can replace the mayo and mustard mixture?

Try cream cheese, hummus, or avocado spreads for different flavor profiles and added moisture.

How long can the pinwheels be stored?

Store them covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. For best texture, slice just before serving.

Are there ways to add crunch to these pinwheels?

Incorporate thinly sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, or crunchy bell pepper strips for extra texture.
