Ingredients
For the filling:
- 2/3 cup hummus
- 1 cup grated carrots squeezed dry with a paper towel
- 1/4 cup chopped chives
- 1/2 Tbsp ground coriander seeds
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- MAKE THE FILLING: Add the filling ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl and use a big rubber spatula to stir until everything is combined.
- ROLL IT UP: Lay the two tortillas on a large cutting board and divide the filling between them. Gently spread the filling into an even layer all the way to the edge. Then, roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other, gently squeezing the sides together as you roll to keep everything compact. Then, squeeze the tortilla roll ever-so-gently before you cut the pinwheels.
- SLICE THE PINWHEELS: Finally, lay this tortilla roll seam-down on a cutting board. Using a large sharp serrated knife, gently cut the roll into 1/2-inch thin slices. Be careful not to push too hard. You want to use long gentle motions to saw back and forth until you cut all the way through.
- SERVE/STORE: Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately. These pinwheels are best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes
Tortilla Options:
- You can stick to white flour tortillas, but I think some sun-dried tomato or spinach wrap tortillas would also work. You want something soft that rolls well without cracking or breaking.
- I would not use corn tortillas, but depending on the brand, I think whole wheat tortillas or gluten-free tortillas could work.
- We have not tried this recipe with anything other than white flour and sun-dried tomato flour tortillas though.
- Use any kind of hummus you like! We love to use our extra garlic hummus, spicy garlic hummus, or dill pickle hummus in this recipe, and they all taste great!
- Vegan cream cheese or a hummus / vegan cream cheese mixture could be a great sub if needed. You may need a little more vegan cream cheese than you would hummus to create the right texture since it’s a little thicker than hummus.
- Dairy free cheese spreads like our vegan goat cheese and tahini feta dip would also work nicely.
