FAQs

Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?

Yes, these roll-ups are ideal for make-ahead lunches or snacks. Prepare and refrigerate them up to a day in advance.

Are these suitable for keto diets?

Yes, using low-carb tortillas and avoiding high-sugar dressings keeps these suitable for keto diets.

What’s the best way to keep them from getting soggy?

Layer wetter ingredients like tomato in the center, and avoid overfilling the wraps. Chill before slicing to help maintain structure.

Can I freeze these roll-ups?

Freezing is not recommended due to the fresh vegetables and cream cheese, which may become watery upon thawing.

Can I omit the cream cheese?

Yes, but the roll-ups may not hold together as well. You can substitute hummus, Greek yogurt spread, or mashed avocado.

How thin should I slice the pinwheels?

Slice each roll into approximately 1-inch thick pieces for a neat, bite-sized presentation.

Can I use regular tortillas?

Yes, but this will increase the carb content. If you’re not following a low-carb diet, any tortilla will work.

How do I keep them from unrolling?

Wrap tightly and chill in plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This helps them stay intact.

Are these good for kids?

Yes, the mild flavors and soft textures make them kid-friendly. You can even customize fillings to suit their preferences.

Can I serve these warm?

These are best served chilled. Heating them may cause the cream cheese and vegetables to become runny or soggy.
