Anyone Can Cook Mexican Tortilla Pinwheels

Today we will make Mexican tortilla pinwheels. They have two types of cheese, black beans and colorful veggies all rolled up inside tortillas and cut into rounds. This is the perfect make-ahead snack or appetizer! With graduation coming up and all the summer events these would be great to make for your friends and family. They are easy to make and many people enjoy these flavors.

You can always add ingredients you like or remove ingredients you don't. That’s part of the fun of cooking – customizing the recipe to your tastes. When I make these again I may add some cilantro and some turkey!
