Serving Suggestions From My Table
These Mediterranean pinwheels are perfect for any occasion. I love serving them as appetizers at parties or as a light lunch. Pair them with a fresh salad or a yogurt dip for a complete meal.
Getting It Just Right
To ensure your pinwheels taste fantastic, make sure to season with enough salt and pepper. Don’t skip the oregano; it adds a lovely Mediterranean touch. Letting them chill in the fridge for a bit also helps the flavors blend nicely.
How to Store Leftovers
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They stay fresh for up to three days. Just remember that the tortillas can get a bit soggy, so it’s best to eat them within a day or two.
Enjoy Every Moment
Cooking is more than just making food; it’s about creating memories. When you enjoy these Mediterranean pinwheels with friends or family, you share not just a meal, but laughter and conversation. Every bite is a moment to cherish.
