Appetizer Tortilla Pinwheels
Country Woman
A friend out in Arizona gave me this recipe, and whenever I serve these pretty and delicious appetizers, people ask me for the recipe, too! Most of my Midwestern friends say that they have never tasted anything like them. Besides being attractive and tasty, the pinwheels can be made ahead of time and sliced just before serving, leaving you time for other last-minute party preparations.
