Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 slices of ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:
1. Prepare Avocado Spread:
Start by peeling and pitting the avocados. In a bowl, mash them with lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
2. Assemble Pinwheels:
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the avocado mixture over each tortilla, leaving about half an inch border around the edges. Next, lay two slices of ham on each tortilla, covering the avocado spread. Sprinkle shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro evenly over the ham layer.
3. Roll Pinwheels:
Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla into a log shape. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice each tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
4. Serve:
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter, securing them with toothpicks if necessary to hold their shape. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped cilantro or lime wedges. Serve immediately and watch as they disappear within moments!
