Bite-size pinwheels make a pretty appetizer, but they can also serve as an afterschool snack or fun lunchtime alternative to regular sandwiches. My teens love making (and eating) tortilla pinwheels.
Most pinwheel recipes use cream cheese, but these use hummus as the spread that holds the meat and vegetables to the tortilla.

This is another of our super-easy 5-ingredient pinwheel appetizers. And it's such a versatile recipe that you can trade out ingredients if you'd like.
For example, replace plain hummus with a flavored one like garlic. Or save a little prep time by using an English cucumber, which does not need to be peeled. Just dice it very small.
- large flour tortillas
- hummus
- deli turkey
- cucumber
- sun-dried tomatoes

What are sun-dried tomatoes?
Sun-dried tomatoes are ripe tomatoes that have been sliced and dried in the sun or by using a dehydrator until they have lost most of their moisture.
This results in a chewy, shriveled tomato with an intense, sweet flavor. They can be found in various forms, such as packed in oil or dried in bags.
For this recipe, be sure to choose the dried, bagged version. Too much moisture makes pinwheel appetizers soggy.
How to make these simple hummus pinwheels
Start by dicing the cucumber into small bite-sized pieces. Spread hummus to the edges of each tortilla.
Layer 4 slices of deli turkey on each tortilla. Sprinkle sun-dried tomatoes evenly across each tortilla.
Tightly roll each tortilla, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This makes them easier to slice.
Unwrap each roll. Use a serrated knife to slice into 1-inch pieces. You can either discard the ends or snack on them (that's what I do!).
Lay each pinwheel flat on a platter to serve.
Pinwheel storage tips:
Turkey hummus pinwheels are so quick to make, but they don't store for very long. You can prep them up to 24 hours ahead of serving, but be sure to keep them refrigerated.
We don't typically have leftovers, but if you do, store them in an airtight container but plan to eat them quickly. They will get soggy quickly.
