This recipe was originally going to be vegan calzones. But, friends, it’s too dang hot to turn on the oven right now.

So simple, heat-free summer appetizers it is!

This recipe is simple, requiring just 8 ingredients and 15 minutes to prepare! Just stir filling ingredients, spread into a tortilla, roll and slice!

And the flavors? Oh, they’re meant for each other.

Sun-dried tomatoes* pair with fresh basil, while fresh garlic and vegan parmesan cheese pack a serious punch to the vegan cream cheese base. A little spinach intensifies the green hue while boosting the nutritional content. Ooh, dreamy.

*Note: learn about the origins of sun-dried tomatoes here.

So what do they taste like? FLAVOR BOMBS. They’re:

Creamy

Savory

Fresh

Basil-infused

Rich in sun-dried-tomato goodness

& Seriously satisfying

Plus, that color? How can you go wrong?

Where would one bring these pinwheels to, you ask? Answer: ALL of the summer parties. I brought these along to a BBQ recently and they were gobbled up in 10 minutes flat! I’d say they’re a crowd pleaser among vegans and meat-eaters alike.
