How Do You Keep Tortilla Roll Ups From Getting Soggy?

The key is to place wet ingredients on top of ingredients that don’t have a lot of moisture. Try using well dried lettuce or spinach leaves. They’ll create a moisture barrier between the wet ingredients and the tortilla. 

Can You Make Cream Cheese Pinwheels The Night Before?

Yes, cream cheese pinwheels can be made in advance. In fact, the flavor improves and the pinwheels develop a sturdier texture as they chill in the fridge. 

How Far In Advance Can I Make Tortilla Pinwheels?

Pinwheels can be made up to 24 hours in advance of when you’re planning to serve them.
