Pinwheel Sandwich Recipes Tips

  • Although you can use smaller tortillas, I recommend using large burrito-sized tortillas.
  • These pinwheels need time to chill or they won’t hold together well. I recommend chilling for at least an hour before slicing and serving.

Pinwheel Sandwich Recipes FAQs

Can you make pinwheels the day before?

Yes, you can absolutely make pinwheels up to 24 hours in advance! Simply slice right before serving.

How do you make pinwheels not soggy?

The best way to make sure your pinwheel sandwiches do not get soggy is to create a barrier between any wet ingredients in the sandwiches and the tortilla. For example, if you’re making pinwheel sandwiches with tomatoes, make sure the tomatoes are wrapped between the other ingredients like meat and cheese, and not touching the tortilla itself.

Storing Pinwheel Sandwiches

If you have any leftover pinwheels, simply store them in an and place them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Any longer and your tortilla will get soft from the moisture of the filling.
