Directions

Make the feta mixture: Place the tzatziki sauce and feta cheese in a bowl and whisk together until well combined and almost smooth.
Prepare the veggies: Dice the cucumber, tomatoes, sweet peppers, and red onion, and slice the Kalamata olives.
Assemble the pinwheels: Lay one tortilla on a clean cutting board. Spread about 2 spoonfuls of the feta cheese mixture over the tortilla. Top it with the diced veggies and olives.
Roll up the tortilla: Tightly roll up the tortilla in cling film and refrigerate. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and veggie filling.
Slice and serve: Once chilled (at least 1 hour), remove the cling film and slice the rolled tortillas into 1.5-inch rounds. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter.
Garnish and enjoy: Sprinkle the pinwheels with dried oregano for extra flavor and serve.

Can I add protein to these pinwheels?

How do I get the cleanest cuts?
