Christmas Pinwheels

Q: How do you keep pinwheels from getting soggy?

Avoid overfilling and choose low-moisture vegetables . Always chill rolls tightly wrapped before slicing, and slice just before serving for best texture. Add moisture-heavy ingredients (like tomatoes or cucumbers) only in hearty sandwich-style versions.

Q: What is the best tortilla for Christmas pinwheels?

Use 10-inch flour tortillas for the best size-to-fill ratio. They’re soft, easy to roll, and hold up well. For a festive flair, grab spinach or sun-dried tomato wraps to match the red and green holiday theme.

Can I freeze pinwheels before the party?

Technically, yes—but with caution. Tortillas and cream cheese can become soggy after thawing. If freezing, opt for meat-and-cheese pinwheels without watery veggies. Wrap tightly in plastic, then foil, and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before slicing.
