These Mexican pinwheels make a delicious and colorful lunch! They’re vegan, super easy to make, and filled with fresh vegetables and beans. Dip them in salsa or guacamole for even more flavor! 

Oh, how I love Mexican flavors! These easy vegan Mexican pinwheels are a combination of traditional pinwheels with cream cheese and burritos.

They make the perfect lunch or party food! And they’re so easy to make. 

What You Need: 

• tortilla wraps (use gluten-free ones if necessary) 
• green, yellow, and red bell pepper
• baby spinach
• black beans
• vegan cream cheese or sour cream
• veggie ground meat 
• vegan shredded cheese
• Mexican spices (chili powder, cumin, and paprika powder) or a Mexican spice mixture 
• salsa
• fresh cilantro 

As always, you can find a full ingredient list and the recipe instructions in a separate recipe box at the end of this post. 

How To Make These Mexican Pinwheels: 

STEP 1: Thinly slice the bell peppers. 

STEP 2: Put each tortilla wrap on a plate or large cutting board. Spread a thin layer of either vegan cream cheese or sour cream on top of each tortilla. Combine the spices in a small bowl. Sprinkle each tortilla with the spices. 

STEP 3: Heat the veggie ground meat in a pan on the stovetop. Season it with Mexican spices if necessary (most brands are already seasoned and you don’t have to do much). 

STEP 4: Then place a line of baby spinach on top. Next a line of black beans, veggie ground meat, bell peppers, and vegan cheese. Then put a bit of the salsa on top. 

STEP 5: Tightly roll up the tortilla. Slice off the ends and and then cut the remaining tortilla into 6-8 pieces depending on the size of your tortilla. Serve them with salsa or enjoy them on their own! 

Recipe Notes:

• The pinwheels can easily be made gluten-free by using gluten-free tortillas.
• I used store-bought vegan cream cheese for my pinwheels, but you could also make your own vegan cream cheese with cashews. 
• If you’re not a fan of plant-based meat alternatives like veggie ground meat, just use more black beans and bell pepper instead. 
• For even more flavor, dip them in salsa or guacamole.
