8. Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap.
9. Chill the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Notes
For a lighter version, use light cream cheese.
Standard 8-10 inch tortillas work best. Whole wheat or spinach tortillas can be used for variation.
If fresh dill is unavailable, use 1 teaspoon dried dill, but fresh is highly recommended.
English cucumbers are recommended for fewer seeds and thinner skin.
Chilling the pinwheels is crucial for them to firm up, making them easier to slice cleanly.
These can be made a few hours in advance.
