About these pizza tortilla pinwheels

Lunchbox ready: Tortilla pinwheels like these or my southwestern cream cheese roll ups make a great lunchbox addition. The nice thing about them is that you can make them in advance and slice off what you need as you’re prepping lunches. And you can serve them with dipping sauces, and what kid doesn’t love that? I served these with pizza sauce which seems like an obvious choice.

Great for entertaining, too: If you’re like me, when you’re prepping for a party, you’re always looking for ways to prepare things in advance. These are better if you make them a day in advance and then all you have to do is slice and serve!

Versatile: You can make these vegetarian by omiting the pepperoni. They’ll still have loads of great pizza flavor, especially if you serve them with pizza sauce. You can add different pizza “toppings,” but you have to be careful they don’t have too high of a moisture content. Finely chopped vegetables will work well, as long as you don’t add too many. Cooked ham is a great choice too – deli sliced ham works best here.

Can you heat these before serving? The melted cheese would be delicious any thoughts?

  I’m not sure the filling would stay put, it might just run out. Let me know if you give it a try, though!

This is genius Rachel! I’m all in back to school lunch mode too, these look like they fit the bill: easy, tasty, and even make-ahead. You could probably freeze them right? Or would that make the cream cheese weird. hmmmm I’ll have to try it out! :)
