Ingredients
- 3 large tortillas spinach, sun-dried tomato, plain, or gluten-free
- 1 cup tofu ricotta cheese or vegan cream cheese
- ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 2 tablespoons roasted garlic 1 head of garlic
- 1 cup spinach packed
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place tofu ricotta, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, and spinach into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix all of the ingredients until they are evenly distributed throughout the ricotta. Taste the filling and add a pinch of salt and pepper, if needed.
- On a cutting board, lay a large tortilla down and scoop about ½ cup of the pinwheel filling on top. Spread the filling into an even layer, to the top and bottom edges but not the sides. The filling should resemble a rectangle.
- Tightly roll the tortilla into a pinwheel starting from the bottom and rolling away from you to the top.
- Cut off the two ends of the rolled tortilla about 2” from the edge.
- Cut the remaining log into 8 equal-sized small pieces, about .75” in width. Use a serrated knife and gently saw back and forth when making the cuts to ensure a circular pinwheel.

Storage:
- Vegan tortilla roll ups can be made up to a day ahead but are best served the day of to ensure the roll-ups don’t get soggy.
- The actual process of assembling the pinwheels doesn't take more than 5 minutes, but if you wanted to make these even further ahead of time you could prepare the filling and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Another make-ahead option is to assemble the pinwheels the day before but wait to cut them. Instead, tightly wrap the roll up in plastic wrap and place it inside an airtight container or plastic bag to prevent any excess moisture.
- If serving these pinwheels as a holiday appetizer, make sure not to leave them out at room temperature for more than 1 or 2 hours.
