5) Caprese Pinwheels with Pesto

Fresh, bright, and probably the prettiest thing on the table. My kids pretend they only eat cheese and bread separately, not together, not touching anything green. More for the adults.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup basil pesto
  • 2 large flour tortillas 10-inch
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves packed
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella thinly sliced
  • 1 large tomato thinly sliced and seeds removed
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Mix cream cheese and pesto until smooth. A fork right in the mixing bowl works fine.
  2. Spread half the mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  3. Layer spinach, mozzarella, and tomato slices on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Roll tightly and wrap in plastic. Chill 20 to 30 minutes so slices hold their shape.
  5. Slice into 1-inch pinwheels and arrange on a platter.
