Recipe FAQs

What type of tortillas work best?

Soft flour tortillas around 10 inches provide the ideal texture and flexibility for rolling the pinwheels tightly without cracking.

Can I substitute the turkey with another protein?

Yes, smoked chicken or ham can be used as alternatives to deli turkey to vary flavor and texture.

How do I make sure the pinwheels hold together well?

Spreading a thin layer of the mustard-mayo mixture helps bind the ingredients, and rolling the tortillas tightly ensures the pinwheels maintain their shape.

Are there vegetable options to add more crunch?

Adding thinly sliced cucumber or shredded carrots enhances crunch and freshness alongside the spinach and bell pepper.

Can pinwheels be prepared ahead of time?

Yes, they can be chilled for up to 2 hours before slicing, which makes cutting easier and helps flavors meld.
