- 1/2 c chickpea smash
- 1 tbsp mixed Italian herbs
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients before beginning.
- Wash the vegetables thoroughly.

- Place one tortilla wrap on a clean, flat surface.
- Spread an even layer of the vegetable cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

- Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down.
- Trim approximately 1 inch from both ends of the roll.
- Slice the remaining roll into 6 to 8 bite-sized pinwheels.

- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
To make this Rainbow Veggie Pinwheels Recipe gluten free, replace the whole wheat flax seed tortilla wraps with certified gluten-free tortilla wraps.
Confirm that the cream cheese or Neufchâtel cheese, chickpea smash, Italian herbs, and all packaged ingredients are labeled gluten free.
Use clean cutting boards, knives, bowls, spatulas, and serving platters to prevent gluten cross-contact.
Choose gluten-free wraps that are soft and flexible enough to roll without cracking.
For best results, warm gluten-free tortillas briefly before filling if they feel stiff, then roll gently to help the pinwheels hold their shape.
