Veggie Pinwheels

These veggie roll ups or pinwheels are such an easy and tasty little appetizer. They are perfect for a party, potluck, picnic or for packing into a lunch box.

I often make tortilla pinwheels with green chiles and these veggie roll ups are just as popular.

These easy to make roll ups are filled with your favorite veggies, then refrigerated before slicing and eating. This means you can get everything ready in the morning and then when you're ready to eat, you just slice and serve!

Key Ingredients

Veggies for making pinwheels.
  • Flour tortillas - I like the 8 inch size
  • Cream cheese - allow cream cheese to soften to room temperature
  • Sour cream - adds some tang to the wraps. Use any type of sour cream.
  • Dried dill - you can use fresh if available
  • Veggies - bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, green onions
    • Other choices include - sugar snap peas, radishes, jicama, roasted chili peppers, finely chopped spinach, fresh herbs and sprouts

Step by step directions

  • Mix softened cream cheese with a mixer
  • Add sour cream and seasonings

  • Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on a tortilla
  • Sprinkle with the veggies

  • Roll up tortillas and wrap tightly with plastic wrap
  • Refrigerate for at least one hour
  • Remove plastic wrap and slice and serve

Recipe tips

  • Make certain cream cheese is at room temperature
  • Use small, thinly sliced veggies
  • Use your favorite veggies. Some additional veggies that will work are pea pods, sprouts, radishes and jicama.
  • Avoid using veggies with high water content like tomatoes and cucumbers
  • Add freshly chopped herbs. Cilantro, basil or parsley work well.
  • Be certain to fully chill wraps so they will hold their shape when sliced
  • When slicing, cut into evenly sized pieces. Discard (or snack on) the end pieces.

Recipe Faqs

How long will veggie pinwheels last?

I find these veggie pinwheels are best eaten the same day. You can still eat them the day after they have been made, but sometimes they can get a bit soggy/

Can I use low fat cream cheese and sour cream?

Yes, these pinwheels work well with regular or low fat varieties.
