Tasty Tortilla Pinwheels


These are the easiest hors-d'oeuvres that I've ever made. So wonderful and popular with everyone. It really only asks for a few very simple ingredients and they go a long way...

Ingredients:

4 thawed Ezekiel or brown rice wraps (Baxtrom's organic section-freezer)

1/4 cup plain organic yogurt

pieces of cooked organic chicken or turkey,(thinly sliced)

organic spinach leaves,(washed and dried)

1/2 cup green onions,( finely chopped)

red, yellow, orange peppers (as much as you wish, thinly sliced)


Directions:

1.Using a spatula or knife, spread about 1 tablespoon of organic plain yogurt on each tortilla, making sure to reach the edges.

2.Place slices of meat on each tortilla.

3.Put several spinach leaves in the center of the tortilla and add green onions and pepper mixture.

4.Roll tortilla tightly; secure with a toothpick.

5.Refrigerate for 1 hour. Cut the tortilla into pinwheels,making bite-sized slices along the tortilla until you reach the end.

6.Lay each piece cut-side down on a serving plate.


Variations:


1.You may also choose to add cucumber, carrots or avocado in your pinwheel.

2.Make a fruit pinwheel using homemade nut butter or homemade jam as the spread, then top with thin organic banana slices and other soft fruit like organic strawberries, raspberries, blueberries....mmmm...what a healthy twist!!

There you go, you've impressed your guests and family one more time!!! Good for you!!

Enjoy!!!
