- 8 ounces (227 g) vegan cream cheese (I love Trader Joe's brand)
- 1/2 cup lightly packed (50 g) sun-dried tomatoes (dry, not in oil), chopped (plus more for topping)
- 1/4 cup lightly packed (45 g) frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry* (optional)
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced (~ 2 Tbsp, 12 g)
- 1/4 cup (20 g) vegan parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- Pinch each sea salt and black pepper
- 2 large flour tortillas (ensure vegan friendliness on package)
- 24 fresh basil leaves, divided
- Add vegan cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, garlic, vegan parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly to combine.
- Divide filling between two flour tortillas and spread into an even layer all the way to the edge. Top each with 10-12 fresh basil leaves (leaving one edge bare so the tortilla can stick to itself). Press basil down slightly to adhere.
- Tightly roll up tortillas from one end to another, starting from the end with basil all the way to the edge, working toward the end that's slightly bare.
- Once rolled up, squeeze gently to compact everything and lay seam-side down for slicing.
- Use a serrated knife to gently cut tortillas into 1/2-inch slices. Between the two tortillas, you should have a total of 20-22 pinwheels.
- Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately, or chill for up to 24 hours, covered in the fridge. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for 2-3 days, though best when fresh.
