I always look for something to do and experiment all the time. And every time I see something healthy and yummy, then I am all for it. A few months ago when I was planning my daughter's birthday party, I thought of making pinwheels because she loves it. Sometimes I would just roll a peanut butter and jelly on a tortilla and she would have it for snacks. I googled some pinwheel recipes and found out you could put almost anything in a pinwheel. I wanted something both adult and kids would like. And so I decided I will make tuna salad pinwheels as one of party dishes. People must have liked it because it was gone when the party is done!!
The best tortilla that I used is the spinach tortilla. I found one at Aldi for only $1.69 per pack ( 6 pcs). There is also the dried tomato tortilla, it tastes alright but I prefer the spinach one better. Pinwheels are like a sandwich wrap, where you can use either tortilla or flat bread. It is rolled up and cut into bite pieces. There are a lot of ingredients you can use. You can use chicken ( grilled or fried), add lettuce, ranch dressing and you have chicken pinwheels. Ham and cheese pinwheels are also popular. Pizza can also be made into a pinwheels. There are a lot of options, we just have to use our imagination.
Below is the recipe for tuna salad pinwheels.
