These easy Thai Pinwheels with Peanut Sauce are similar to spring rolls, but in a different package. They are perfect for a party!
I love Thai peanut dipping sauces. You will find quite a few here on Create Mindfully. So, I thought, why not sneak some into some vegan pinwheels.
These Thai Pinwheels with Peanut Sauce remind me of spring rolls, but in a different package. I used pretty much the same ingredients that I would in spring rolls: red pepper, carrots, and avocado. I would have used cucumber, which I love in my spring rolls, but they would have made the pinwheels too watery.
The sauce is more like a spread, being a lot thicker than a dipping sauce to make it spreadable.
These pinwheels make a great appetizer, or if you are like me, a meal after a photo shoot. The tortillas are a mix of spinach, amaranth and mesquite flour. I get them from a local Farmer's Market, but someday I want to replicate them because I have yet to find a gluten free product that has as good of a texture and tastes as good.
If you have any vegan gluten free bread products to recommend (other than Food for Life, which I already use), please let me know! I am always on the lookout for some good ones.

You will want these vegan pinwheels at your next party. They will be one of the first things to disappear, or if you're like me, save them for yourself for an easy weeknight meal.

CAN I MAKE THESE IN ADVANCE OF MY DINNER PARTY?
Willow Moon says
You could make them the day before if your tortillas are hearty enough. If you want to make sure you keep the integrity of the tortillas, make the sauce ahead of time - even a couple of days. You can also prep the veggies (not avocado or cilantro) the day before. Then the day of roll them. That’s what I would do.
Rebecca says
LOVE THESE!!! My kids love them too! Super easy to make, and great for those summer days you don't want to turn on the oven! Should be noted though, that they ARE NOT vegan.....sriracha does have fish sauce in it lol
Willow Moon says
Thanks Rebecca, I'm so glad! Actually sriracha sauce, at least the one I buy which is also a really popular brand doesn't have fish sauce, so they are totally vegan. Maybe you're thinking of Thai curry sauce? Some have fish sauce in them.
Deanna says
This has been a huge hit in my house! Thanks for the recipe!

I'm so glad!

How about Lettuce wraps or Roll ups made with Romaine or Napa for Vegan & Gluten Free? Was thinking about the Summer rolls from my favorite Thai spot & Lettuce Rolls from PF Chang’s menu, or a Vegan, dish like Stuffed Cabbage Rolls from the Middle East — has Brown Jasmine Rice, Currants, Pine Nuts & savory spices wrapped in Romaine Leaves. Sound plausible? Low Calorie too. You can chow on those all summer while perfecting your Chickpea flatbreads. Plus no heating the oven in the heat. My Thai place serves the Summer Rolls with a thick chunky Peanut Sauce. They seriously make everything from scratch including about 20 different dipping sauce 6 Soups, 6 Salads & dressings. I love that Entrees are made to order with my allergies & intolerances I value that. But you asked about gluten free wraps & they immediately sprung to mind. They use approximately the same ingredients in their Summer Rolls. The nice crispy green rolls won't need Baking in the summer, so you stay cool. They would be a nice Appetizer at a Vegan Barbecue. You could even set everything out & let everyone wrap their own. You could even make a table full of appetizers & skip the barbecue on those triple digit days. BTW how about adding radishes for a nice spicy crunch of pep. Or some finely match-stocked Jicama Yum! Recipe sounds Yum! MA from Boston,MA I'll be back, you havemuch to explore! ❤️🙃🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🙃❤️‼️👍👍 Have a nice big pitcher of Ice Cold Sangria!🍊🍋🍷🍷🍷🍋🍊or 🍺 🍺 🍺

Yup, I have used lettuce for wraps, but sometimes you crave a good tortilla, you know! I've used radishes on tacos, but don't buy them much. I need to try them roasted, I've heard they are really good made that way. That Thai place sounds amazing. There's one near my house that we go to and they have great Summer rolls too. I always get the curry with tofu. It's so good that I could lick the bowl.

Oh these look amazingly delicious. Thank you for sharing such a delectable recipe!

I love peanut sauce too! It's such a satisfying dip.
Alyssa says
I love thai food, and I could practically drink peanut sauce out of a bowl, so this recipe looks like a definite winner to me!!
Willow Moon says
I am the same way! That goes for curry sauce as well!
Lara Creek says
These look (and sound) amazing! I need to find something similar to that tortilla, or I can just wait for your recreation recipe 🙂
Willow Moon says
I have been working on a socca recipe, which is made with chickpea flour. I just need to perfect it. It doesn't taste the same, but that will be out in the next 2 to 3 weeks. (I always have about 15 recipes waiting to be published.)
amy says
yum, looks like a great snack! I will have to give it a try.
Willow Moon says
Or a meal, if you have to eat them up after a photo shoot!
Francine says
These look beautiful and delicious! I'll have to show the recipe to my husband. He's the main cook around here, and loves to make things like this. We had spring rolls a few weeks ago, and he makes sushi every few months.

If you love peanut sauce, I think you'll love these!
