   • Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla to form a compact log.

6. Chill and Set:

   • Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap to maintain shape.
   • Refrigerate the wrapped pinwheels for at least 1 hour to allow them to set and firm up.

7. Slice and Serve:

Notes:

• These Taco Pinwheels can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve, making them a convenient option for party appetizers or quick snacks.
• Feel free to customize the filling according to your preferences by adding ingredients like diced tomatoes, green onions, or jalapenos for an extra kick of flavor.
• Ensure the tortillas are tightly rolled to prevent the filling from falling out when sliced. If necessary, secure the ends with toothpicks before chilling.
• For a vegetarian version, omit the taco meat or substitute it with cooked and seasoned black beans or grilled vegetables.
• Experiment with different types of tortillas, such as whole wheat or spinach, to add variety and color to your Taco Pinwheels.
