A friend gave me this recipe, and whenever I serve these pretty and delicious appetizers, people ask me for the recipe, too! 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. —Pat Waymire, Yellow Springs, Ohio

Question: I made this recipe for a dinner which has been postponed because of weather. Can I freeze these and use them in two weeks?

Made these for a party and they were a hit! I put ham in half and just this filling in the other half.

We made the pinwheels for New Year's Eve. The tortillas were soggy and no one seemed to like them. The inside filling was good. Wish I had thought to scrape off the tortillas and use the filling on crackers. They went in the garbage. Did anyone else have this problem?

bland and pasty

Yum. Just like the ones I made for our wedding! Didn't use chilies or green onions but double the olives.... also if you want them to be easier to slice, freeze for an hour or so before slicing. Then pop them on a serving platter and leave in the fridge until serving time! I also used a serrated knife to cut them.

I made 2 of the pinwheels by the recipe , using jalapeno peppers and they were good . I put shaved smoked turkey , shaved smoked ham and shaved roast beef on the other 3 . We liked the roll with the smoked ham a lot and loved the roll with the roast beef

This recipe was amazing as is. Can sure understand why it was a contest winner. Made it again also adding one thin slice of Boar's Head jerk turkey and ham. The jerk turkey added quite a kick. Would also try substituting jalapeno peppers for the green chilies for even more of a kick!

I took a tray of these to a party and they really made me look like a star. Easy to make, fast, delicious, not a thing to change about the recipe...and I agree...the electric knife is a great tip. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Anytime we have a party or a potluck, I'm asked to bring these! My mom even makes only the filling and uses it on bagels, crackers or eats it with veggies. We ALL absolutely LOVE it!!

Very good taste - I would make the filling the day before to let flavors mix. The electric knife used to cut is an excellent recommendation - worked GREAT!
