Wrap the filled tortillas in saran wrap or aluminum foil and chill for at least an hour before slicing into pinwheels.

👩🏼🍳Pro Tips
Pinwheels are perfect for a last minute snack and are the perfect dish to bring to a gathering or potluck. But what do you do if you don’t have smoked salmon in the fridge? Why not try using shrimp or chicken? Another option is to go vegetarian without any meat. Cream cheese alternatives include goat cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and even Laughing Cow triangles. There are also many veggie options. Try adding black olives, diced cucumber, chopped tomatoes, and chives. A good way to get ideas is to choose a theme such as Italian. Then, just use common Italian ingredients like basil, black olives, artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes.
