What Is A Pinwheel?

But first of all, what are pinwheels or roll-ups? Pinwheels are simple children’s toys made with paper or plastic. The paper curls are attached to a stick by a pin hence the pinwheel.

Put the pin in the wind and it will turn endlessly. But in essence, a pinwheel or roll-up is a tortilla with a filling rolled up tightly and refrigerated. Then cut into bite-size rolls.

How To Store Mexican Pinwheels

When you make a big batch of pinwheels or have leftovers you have several ways to store Mexican pinwheels:

• Refrigerator – you can store these in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. As avocados discolor easily, they can turn brown. Preferably you store it when it is not cut into pinwheels. That way the majority of the guacamole remains green. When wrapped store it in an airtight food container
• Freezer – guacamole, and avocados freeze very well so you can store these pinwheels in the freezer. Store them in a freezer-friendly food container for up to a month. Let them thaw in the fridge overnight before storing. Again, the guacamole can discolor
