  • 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.

Tips & 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.
