I’ve been watching her for years, soI was quite excited to learn about her newest cookbook, “Everyday Family Dinners“. It’sa cookbookmeant for a home cook like me and you — peoplewho want great family-friendly meals.My Reuben Pinwheelsrecipe inspired by one ofSara Moulton’s recipes.WhenI was cruising around Sara’s website, I came across her Reuben Pizza. When thinking about how to make this into a party appetizer, I thought how great theseReuben Sandwich flavors would be rolled up into a tortilla pinwheel recipe.While I worked on this recipe, my oldest son came into the kitchen. I’m not really paying attention to what he’s doing, but the next thing I know he’s spitting out whatever was in his mouth into his hand and asking ” WHAT IS THAT????”. See, apparently, my son thought the well-drained sauerkraut was the same as the bowl of shredded Swiss cheese I had on the counter. He grabbed a BIG pinch of sauerkraut and popped it in his mouth expecting cheesy goodness. I laughed so hard. I wonder if that will keep him from grabbing the cheese that I’m grating? Probably not.As with all of the pinwheels I make, there is usually some sort of spread that is applied to the tortilla or wrap. ForReuben Tortilla Pinwheels, I missed up a mixture of cream cheese, Russian dressing, and sauerkraut.This mixture is spread onto a tortilla, then it’s topped with shredded swiss cheese. If you only have access to sliced swiss cheese, that will work great too.Next, the swiss cheese is topped with thinly sliced corned beef.Starting at one edge of the tortilla, begin rolling up the tortilla as tightly as possible without shifting the toppings. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Place all of your rolled up tortillas in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 1 hour. If you are making these in advance of a party, you can leave them in the refrigerator long — making them the day ahead works out great.After chilling in the refrigerator, remove them and slice into rounds. They can be served laying down on a plate or platter or you can stand them up and insert a toothpick into the tortilla the way we have shown.Ingredients Needed for Reuben Tortilla Pinwheels:Cream Cheese (8oz)Russian Salad Dressing (1/2 cup)Sauerkraut (1/4 cup)Swiss Cheese (8oz – Shredded)Corned Beef Deli Meat (12oz – Thinly Sliced)Flour Tortillas – (8 – 9 inch)Cooking Equipment needed for Reuben Tortilla Pinwheels:Rubber SpatulaPlastic ToothpicksKitchen KnifeServing PlateHere’s the complete recipe, ready for youto print.

FAQs

How do you keep tortillas from getting soggy in pinwheels? ›

In fact, you should assemble and roll the pinwheels at least a few hours ahead for best results. However, make them only 24 hours ahead at most to ensure the tortillas do not become soggy.

Steps in a pinwheel discussion:

Group students any way you choose, but having strong students in the provocateur group can make early discussion more successful. 2. Assign each group an article, a role, a character, author, etc. Each student approaches the discussion from the standpoint of the text they received.

How to stop wraps from falling apart? ›

As you tuck the filling in, continue rolling the wrap from the bottom until you reach the end. Just before you completely wrap it, add a bit of sauce onto the tortilla wrap to act as a sealant for the wrap. Press down on the wrap and hold it in place to help it keep the shape.

Can I cut pinwheels the night before? ›

You can make these the day before you're ready to serve them and keep them wrapped, whole, in the fridge for at least 4 hours or up to 24. Just before serving, slice each tortilla pinwheel in 1/2- to 3/4-inch rounds and arrange on serving plate. The tortillas will become dry if sliced too far in advance.

How do you keep pinwheels from drying out? ›
