Notes

This recipe makes 3 kinds of pinwheel sandwiches, each offering 11 slices. Nutrition is approximately calculated for one slice. 
When making pinwheel sandwiches, tightly roll flatbread and hold it tight when slicing.
When slicing, use a sharp knife. Cut into 1/2 or 1-inch thick slices.
When using cucumbers, always peel and slice thinly so the cucumber slices are almost see-through, this will help when rolling sandwiches.
If tortillas are too thin, do a double-wrap to ensure they hold shape and don't unroll later.
Some recipes use mayo, I prefer a thicker base like goat cheese or cream cheese, it helps when storing sandwiches for a couple of days.
To make delicious pinwheels, when using flavored cream cheese, mix it with desired spices (taco seasoning, ranch seasoning). I like to add: powdered garlic, powdered onion, dry chives, dry dill.
When using jam, choose the thicker kind and avoid anything too runny.
For best flavor, it's recommended for these little sandwiches to serve immediately and consume within a few hours.
If you are not going to eat the sandwiches right away, you can store leftover pinwheel sandwiches in the fridge. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap so that they don't get dry. Keep your pinwheel sandwiches in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
