PlayFood: Hummus and Cilantro Pinwheel Sandwiches

"The Beginning of the Whirl"
"Pinwheels"

(based on Jackie Kiser's hummus recipe)

9 large flour tortillas (about 10" in diameter)
1 bunch of cilantro
2 Tablespoons toasted sesame seeds for garnish kp ind)

Make hummus according to the directions below.

Chop the cilantro.
Cut each tortilla into as large a square as possible. Spread a thin
layer of hummus over the tortilla, covering it (about 1/3 cup).
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Roll the tortilla as tightly as possible. Wrap in plastic wrap and
refrigerate for at least an hour.
Unwrap tortilla roll, and cut into 1/2" slices. This is where you find
out if you've wrapped the tortilla tightly enough. If you haven't,
your pinwheels will collapse. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
