FAQs

How do you keep tortilla roll ups from getting soggy? ›

Consider a thin layer of some kind of oil-based spread (eg mayonnaise) between your fillings and your wrap. Also, carefully control the amount of “wet” ingredients (tomatoes, some olives, dressings, etc) added to the wrap. Finally, make sure you stack your wrap properly.

Can You Make Pinwheels the Day Before? Yes, you can make pinwheels the day or night before you plan to serve them. If Serving within 1 Day. Store the pinwheels at room temperature, then reheat in the oven.

I freeze up to 1 month. Let them thaw in the fridge before serving. I love making these ahead of game day and then they're ready to go when we want to celebrate.

Simply slice right before serving. How do you make pinwheels not soggy? The best way to make sure your pinwheel sandwiches do not get soggy is to create a barrier between any wet ingredients in the sandwiches and the tortilla.

-Use a light touch and even pressure when rolling to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin or surface. -If you're still having trouble, try using a round template (like a plate or lid) to trim your tortilla into a perfect circle after rolling it out.

A serrated knife works the best in cutting through all the layers. We first cut off the ends of the roll (if they are uneven) then slice roll into 12 equal pieces. I find the easiest way to do this is to slice the roll in half, then in half again so you have 4 equal pieces. Slice each of these pieces into 3 pinwheels.

Try to make the rolls as tightly as you can to prevent the pinwheels from falling apart when sliced. How do you keep pinwheels from drying out? If not being served immediately, cover with plastic wrap or keep in an air tight container to prevent the tortilla from getting dry.

You can make these the day before you're ready to serve them and keep them wrapped, whole, in the fridge for at least 4 hours or up to 24. Just before serving, slice each tortilla pinwheel in 1/2- to 3/4-inch rounds and arrange on serving plate.

They hold up really well in the fridge so you can prep lunch a few days out. Just grab a tortilla and your favorite cold cuts and get ready to roll! I love serving these pinwheels with a side of fruit salad and pretzels! Or, make some of my favorite Healthy Macaroni Salad for the ultimate summer meal!

How do you keep flour tortillas crispy? ›

You didn't have your oil at the right temperature to support deep frying. (Or the temperature dropped too much between batches of chips.) You didn't fry them long enough. (This also encompasses not flipping them over to ensure both sides get crispy.)

What makes flour tortillas hard is not adding enough lard or oil and water and not kneading the dough for the required amount of time, and NOT allowing the dough to rest in a warm place at least 30 minutes before making flour tortillas.
