Feel free to add more veggies like sliced radishes or sprouts. They bring a fresh crunch that everyone will love. Want to make your wraps more filling? Try adding grilled chicken or tofu. Cook the chicken until golden and slice it thin. If you use tofu, press it to remove water and marinate it. Then, grill or bake it until crispy. Add these proteins on top of the veggies. This makes the wraps heartier and perfect for a meal. You can also use turkey or ham for a different flavor. Using seasonal veggies makes these wraps even better. In summer, add juicy tomatoes or zucchini. In fall, consider roasted sweet potatoes or kale. Winter can bring butternut squash or Brussels sprouts. Each season offers new tastes and colors. This keeps your pinwheels exciting all year round. Mix and match your favorite vegetables for endless combinations. To keep your rainbow veggie pinwheel wraps fresh, use airtight containers. Place them in the fridge right after you make them. This helps to lock in flavor and keep the veggies crisp. If you need to stack them, layer parchment paper between each wrap.

Remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. They can last up to three months in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat, let them thaw in the fridge overnight. When reheating, the best method is to use a microwave. Place the wraps on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Heat them for about 15 to 30 seconds. This helps keep them moist. If you want a crisp texture, use a skillet on low heat. Just warm them for a few minutes. Enjoy your colorful snack anytime! Rainbow veggie pinwheel wraps can last about 3 to 5 days in the fridge.
