    Rolling tightly is key for neat, well-formed 'flowers'.

    Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels. You should get approximately 5-6 'flowers' per tortilla.

    A very sharp knife helps achieve clean cuts without squishing the roll. If it's too soft, chill briefly before slicing.

    Arrange the tortilla 'flowers' decoratively on a serving platter. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
