Veggie Wrap Pinwheels are a colourful and enticing appetizer, perfect for gatherings or as a fun lunchbox addition. These bite-sized treats are packed with fresh, crunchy vegetables and creamy cheese, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. They offer a visually appealing and delicious way to enjoy a healthy snack.
Ingredients
These pinwheels are made with a simple selection of ingredients that combine for a fresh and satisfying taste. The base of a soft tortilla holds a layer of smooth cream cheese, which acts as a delicious glue for the vegetables. Grated carrot, cucumber, and red cabbage provide vibrant colors and a variety of textures, making each bite a delightful experience.
- 1 large tortilla
- Cream cheese, spreadable
- 1/2 carrot, grated
- 1/2 cucumber, grated
- Red cabbage, grated
- 2 tablespoons of grated carrot
- 2 tablespoons of grated cucumber

Preparation
Start by spreading a generous layer of cream cheese over the entire surface of the open tortilla. This not only adds flavour but also helps the vegetables stick and stay in place. Grate the carrot, cucumber, and red cabbage, then measure two tablespoons of each and sprinkle evenly over the cream cheese. Carefully roll the tortilla into a tight log, ensuring the fillings are compacted well. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into pinwheels, about 1 inch thick. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter, displaying the colourful cross-sections of the vegetables.
