Notes
Appetizer Tortilla Pinwheels Tips
- Can you make pinwheels the day before?
Yes! Making the pinwheels up to 24 hours in advance is a great way to save time on party day. You can also try variations, like these Ranch Tortilla Roll-Ups. - How do you keep tortilla roll-ups from getting soggy?
To keep tortilla roll-ups from getting soggy, be sure to measure the sour cream accurately. A heaping cup will result in a drippy filling and soggy tortilla. There's no need to drain the chiles, though. The small amount of liquid in a can of chopped green chiles adds to the creamy texture of the filling. And don’t skip the plastic wrap step—this is the best way to keep the roll-ups from getting soggy. - How long do pinwheels last?
Store any leftover pinwheel sandwiches in an airtight container—but not for too long! Gobbling them up within a day or two is the tastiest option. If you wait any longer, they can get soggy.
