Steps:
- Note: I add my veggies to a food processor to chop them finely. You want small veggies here, trust me. Also, if you find the veggies are watery, squeeze out the water from the veggies in a paper towel. It will make a difference.
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix all the ingredients together (except the tortillas) in a mixing bowl. Evenly divide the mixture between 4-5 tortillas and spread out the best you can (staying about 1/2 an inch or 1 inch from the outer edges of the tortillas.) Roll the tortillas up and place onto baking sheet. Add about 5 slices across the top of each tortilla.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is nice and hot. Allow to cool before slicing into pinwheels.
- Note: I have heard about people cutting the tortillas into pin wheels before baking them. It would probably be a lot easier and less of a chance of squishing the cheese everywhere.

Wonderful meatless meal! Pair with Spanish rice and refried beans to make a great meal! I like to have salsa on the side to dip them into.
