FAQs
What size tortillas should I use?
Standard 8–10″ flour or lavash wraps work best for manageable pinwheel portions.
Can I use leftover chicken?
Yes—leftover rotisserie or grilled chicken works perfectly. Just shred or slice and toss with dressing.
Is slaw dressing necessary for the salmon spread?
It adds tang and creaminess, but you may substitute with plain Greek yogurt or sour cream blended with cream cheese and fresh herbs.
How far ahead can I prep these?
Assemble up to 1 day before; store whole wraps and slice just before serving for freshness.
Can I include other fillings?
Absolutely—add sliced avocado, roasted red peppers, shredded carrot, or arugula.
Are these gluten-free?
Use gluten-free tortillas. All other ingredients listed are naturally gluten-free.
How should leftovers be stored?
Keep whole wraps in an airtight container and refrigerate up to 2 days. Sliced pieces dry out faster.
Can I make this dairy-free?
For salmon wraps, substitute cream cheese with dairy-free spread or hummus.
What’s the best way to slice pinwheels?
Chill the wraps before slicing with a sharp knife to prevent squishing.
How do I avoid sogginess?
Ensure ingredients are well-drained (e.g., tomato and slaw dressing), and refrigerate wrapped right away.
