Salmon Appetizer Sandwiches Recipes

SMOKED SALMON PINWHEELS

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine cream cheese, dill, chives, and garlic powder. Mix until well-incorporated and creamy.
• Lay out both wraps and evenly spread the cream cheese onto each one, leaving about a half inch of room around the edges. Spread the cream cheese out to the edge on one side, as you'll use this side to "seal" the pinwheel.
• Evenly distribute the spinach between your two tortillas, followed by the smoked salmon.
• Tightly roll up each wrap, tucking in the ends as you go. It's important to roll these as tightly as possible so that the pinwheels stay together when cut.
• With a small serrated knife cut the edges off of each wrap, and then cut each one into ½ inch rounds. You should get about 14-16 pinwheels, 7-8 per wrap.
• Feel free to assemble as-is or stick a toothpick into each pinwheel to serve. Serves 4.
