If you don't have pimentos, you can substitute diced red bell pepper or roasted red peppers.
You can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as chopped nuts, crumbled bacon, or shredded cheese.
If you're having trouble rolling the pinwheels, try placing them in the refrigerator for a few minutes before cutting them.
Pimento pinwheels can be served immediately or chilled for later.
