How to Prepare Sun-Dried Tomato, Basil, and Spinach Pinwheels [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Blend all ingredients for white bean spread together in a food processor until smooth like hummus—season with more salt and pepper to taste.
Mix in the crushed pine nuts into the spread by hand.
Place three tortillas on a flat surface and evenly divide the white bean spread between them.
Spread the mixture to the very edges of each tortilla. This is the glue that will seal the roll-ups, so it's important to get it to the edges.
Lay the chopped sundried tomato pieces, basil, and spinach leaves flat over every inch of each tortilla except for about 2 inches on one side. That needs to remain uncovered so that the end of the tortilla roll-up will stick together. Press leaves down slightly before rolling to make sure everything sticks.
Roll each tortilla up as tightly as you can, rolling towards the uncovered edge.
Refrigerate until ready to serve or cut into 2-inch pinwheels and serve immediately.
