Pimento Cheese Pinwheels
These pimento cheese pinwheels are made with tortillas, sliced turkey, and homemade pimento cheese. They make a great appetizer or lunch any day of the week.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 10 inch tortillas ~burrito size
- 1 cup pimento cheese spread we used this
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 8 oz. sliced oven roasted turkey
- 1 medium tomato thinly sliced
- ¼ red onion sliced
Instructions
- Spread ¼ cup pimento cheese spread on to each tortilla leaving ½-inch at the edge of one half.
- Sprinkle the shredded lettuce onto one half of the tortilla on the opposite side of where you left the ½ inch border.
- Next, layer 2 to 3 slices of turkey, 2-3 slices of tomato, and some of the sliced red onion on top of the shredded lettuce.
- Starting with the edge with the most filling, tightly roll it towards the half with the ½ inch border.
- Continue steps 1 through 4 until all of the tortilla rolls have been made.
- Slice the pinwheels using a sharp knife. Carefully slice them into ½-inch to 1-inch pieces. The pinwheels may need a toothpick to secure edges if they are not staying closed.
Notes
- We left a ½ inch border on the tortilla so that when we roll it the pimento cheese spread won’t squirt out.
- The tighter this is rolled, the better. It will make it easier when cutting, and will help hold it together.
- To make these ahead of time, sub 2 whole pieces of romaine lettuce for the shredded lettuce. And roll the tortillas but do not cut them. Roll parchment paper around each roll and place into a gallon ziplock bag.
