Instructions
- If using the Spreadable Vegan Mexican Cheese, prepare first. Otherwise, move on to the next step.
- Lay one tortilla flat and spread with a thin layer of spreadable cheese - about half of the total amount (1/3 cup as original recipe is written // optional, but recommended).
- Next top with ~1/3 cup refried beans and spread flat. Continue layering with 1/4 avocado, 1/4 cup onion, 1/4 cup tomato or salsa, and 1/4 cup cilantro. See photo series as a guide.
- Use your hands to flatten all the ingredients down so it's easier to roll. Then tightly roll from one end to the other and place seam side down on a cutting board. If any ingredients fall out of the tortilla when rolling, it's OK! It's a hefty pinwheel, so just scrape it aside and move along.
- Starting in the center of the tortilla, use your hands to form and tighten the roll, moving outward toward the edges. This will help the fillings form together and make slicing easier.
- Use a serrated knife (blunt-edge knives may smash the pinwheel), and slice into 1/2-inch slices - about 8-10.
- Repeat the process with second tortilla and remaining ingredients. You should have ~20 pinwheels (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2-3 days.
