Caprese Pinwheels
I love snacks, and roll-ups are among my favorite appetizers. And these caprese pinwheels are on that list. They are easy to make and perfect for a party, picnic, or lunch.
Ingredients
- 2 tortilla wraps
- 2 tablespoons green pesto
- 5 oz. mozzarella thinly sliced
- 8 sun-dried tomatoes finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil finely chopped
Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic
Instructions
- Heat the tortilla briefly in a dry frying pan.2 tortilla wraps
- Brush one side with a tablespoon of pesto.2 tablespoons green pesto
- Divide half of the Mozzarella over the center of the wrap.5 oz. mozzarella
- Place sun-dried tomatoes on both sides of the cheese.8 sun-dried tomatoes
- Top with some basil leaves.2 tablespoons fresh basil
- Roll up the tortilla wrap tightly and wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it cool for an hour in the refrigerator.
- Before serving, remove the foil and cut the wrap into thin strips. Serve with some skewers.
NOTES
1. Sun-dried tomatoes
- Even better than sun-dried tomatoes are semi-sun-dried tomatoes or salad tomatoes (I can eat a bowl of those).
- Can be replaced with thinly sliced fresh tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, or even roasted peppers.
- Extra flavor: Drizzle some balsamic cream over the center of the wrap.
- Extra vegetables: You can add grilled zucchini, eggplant, or avocado. Or thinly sliced iceberg lettuce, nice and fresh.
- Refrigerator: Keep the caprese wrap snacks in the fridge until you are ready to serve them. Wrap them in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container if you've already cut them. This keeps them good for up to 2 days.
- Freezer: You cannot freeze these wrap rolls because the cheese and tomatoes then change their structure, which is not tasty.
