Pinwheel sandwiches are here with their totally retro swirls, ready to be packed into lunchboxes, piled onto game day spreads, or just eaten as an afternoon snack. They’re easy to assemble, look great on a platter, and are ideal for a party. To make them, you'll layer flour tortillas with ranch-flavored mayonnaise, sliced cheese, deli meats, and lettuce. All that's left to do is roll them up tightly and slice. See, simple!
The best part is that there are endless combinations of fillings you can customize these with. As long as you stick with the basic formula and amounts, the sky's the limit. Not a mayo fan? You’re still going to want to stick with something spreadable in these to help hold them together, but feel free to swap it out for something like goat cheese, hummus, or even avocado. Want more crunch? Try adding some crumbled bacon, cucumber, or bell peppers in there. Try other deli meat and cheese combinations too—we think prosciutto or salami could be great additions or swaps.
You can also make these ahead of time by assembling them up until the point of rolling, then refrigerating them for up to 6 hours. Store them, seam side down, on a paper towel-lined tray, then slice when you’re ready to serve. For extra-attractive sandwiches, trim the edges of the rolled tortilla before you start slicing the sandwiches. You can save these bits for a cook’s snack!
