Your Questions Answered

What is the best way to roll the pinwheels tightly?

Place the fillings evenly on the tortilla, then roll from one end firmly but gently to avoid tearing, ensuring a compact log for easy slicing.

Can I use different types of cheese?

How long can these pinwheels be stored before serving?

They can be chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before slicing and serving to maintain freshness and ease of cutting.
