Can I use gluten-free tortillas?

Absolutely, I've made these with all kinds of alternative tortillas - gluten-free, spinach, even those low-carb ones. The key is warming them slightly before spreading so they don't crack. Just microwave for about 5 seconds and they'll roll like a dream.

How long do these veggie pinwheels actually last?

Honestly? They're best within 24 hours - that's when the veggies are still crisp and lively. I once pushed it to 36 hours (a serious meal prep experiment) and while still edible, the tortilla got a bit soggy. If you must store longer, keep the roll whole and slice right before eating.

My pinwheels keep falling apart - what am I doing wrong?

Oh honey, I've been there, Usually it's one of three things: 1) Overstuffing (keep the layers thin), 2) Not rolling tightly enough (give it a good squeeze as you go), or 3) Cutting with a dull knife (sharp is your friend). Try chilling the whole roll for 15 minutes before slicing - it helps everything stay together.

Can I make these vegan?

You bet, Simply swap the cream cheese for vegan cream cheese or hummus. I love using mashed avocado with lime juice too - it gives that same creamy texture. All the veggies are naturally vegan, so you're golden there.
