How fun are these rainbow pinwheels?! Before going gluten-free and vegan, one of our go-to party trays were those turkey pinwheels from Costco. You know the ones. We LOVED them. They were easy to grab quickly for parties or our lunches on-the-go. I know I’ll make a vegan copycat recipe of them someday. For now, I used my inspiration to create some veggie pinwheels of my own!
The Recipe
We found some gluten-free spinach tortillas at our local Aldi’s and couldn’t say no to the color! So, we decided to do a “rainbow” veggie take on the wheels. They turned out DELICIOUS. Plus, how pretty are they?!
For these pinwheels we use a delicious spread from Hope Foods. The have an avocado ranch dip made from cashews and it’s FIRE! So good. We use that as our base, however you can easily substitute the spread for any type of hummus, cream cheese, or dressing you like. We use whatever veggies we have on hand when making these rolls, but we compiled the go-to veggies in our house for this recipe!

Pinwheels are not just a fun party appetizer that’s easy to make, there are so many flavor combinations you can do to mix it up! If you’re making kid-friendly pinwheels, try peanut butter, jelly and banana! My mom made these when we were younger all the time because we loved them so much. Want to spice it up? Drizzle some sriracha or use a spicy hummus! If you feel the need to add “meat” to this recipe, add some tofu or your favorite vegan deli meats. This really is another great recipe where the possibilities are endless. Want us to try making another fun pinwheel recipe? Throw out some flavors for us to try!
