Easy Rainbow Veggie Pinwheels - Food Today
These veggie pinwheels are a rainbow of colorful fresh veggies with ranch flavored cream cheese , all rolled up inside a spinach tortilla wrap. The perfect back to school lunch!
Rainbow veggie pinwheels are easy finger foods for families on the go and are perfect for home , school , or work lunches. Sometimes when I want a lunch that is easy to eat anywhere I make these veggie pinwheels with some homemade chex mix or some chips and a little container of this dill dip.
Tortilla pinwheels were a potluck classic growing up in the Midwest. They were a welcome presence at every party and usually had an assortment of sandwich meats and sliced cheeses in them. I could never pass them up.
The rainbow version of the Midwest classic is packed with fresh veggies and has a halfway homemade approach (my favorite way to entertain!) by using the store-bought dip to help you cut down on prep time.
Even better , the veggies can be sliced the night before making things even easier. Spreading the dip and arranging the veggies takes just minutes.
This recipe is also a wrap that I can eat for lunch on the go since it’s healthy yet satisfying and doesn’t make a mess or need to be reheated.
My dip of choice for this recipe is La Terra Fina’s Sriracha Three Cheese Dip & Spread. There’s a spicy kick it gives the wraps , and the beautiful red-orange color is all natural – no added dyes or preservatives.
