Vegan Hummus Veggie Pinwheels (Printable)

Creamy hummus and crisp veggies rolled in tortillas for a fresh no-cook appetizer.

# What You Need:

→ For the Pinwheels

01 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch; use whole wheat or gluten-free if desired)
02 - 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
03 - 1 cup baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
04 - 1/2 cup julienned red bell pepper
05 - 1/2 cup shredded carrot
06 - 1/2 cup cucumber, cut into thin strips
07 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
08 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or dill)

# Directions:

01 - Lay the tortillas flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Spread a generous, even layer of hummus over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
03 - Arrange baby spinach leaves evenly across the hummus on each tortilla.
04 - Distribute the julienned bell pepper, shredded carrot, cucumber strips, sliced black olives (if using), and chopped fresh herbs evenly over the spinach layer.
05 - Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla into a firm log, keeping the fillings tucked in as you go.
06 - Using a sharp knife, trim the uneven ends, then slice each roll into 6 even pinwheels.
07 - Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required, which means your kitchen stays cool and your stress stays at zero.
  • They hold up beautifully in a cooler or lunchbox without wilting or getting soggy.
  • You can hand the rolling task to any willing helper and it still comes out looking impressive.
02 -
  • Overfilling is the number one reason pinwheels unravel, so thin layers always win over stuffed tortillas.
  • Chilling the rolled logs for ten minutes before slicing helps them hold their shape and gives cleaner cuts.
03 -
  • Pat every vegetable completely dry with a clean towel before layering because even a little extra moisture is the enemy of a neat pinwheel.
  • Arrange fillings in horizontal rows across the tortilla rather than scattering randomly, and each spiral will have a consistent pattern of every color.
