 Step-by-Step Instructions

   Thread 5 to 6 pinwheels vertically onto each metal skewer, inserting through the sides to keep the rolls secure.

4. Grill on the YANFLAMMA:

   Lightly spray the loaded skewers with olive oil spray. Hang them vertically onto the YANFLAMMA top hanging ring rack. Close the lid and let them cook in the enclosed chamber for 5–10 minutes until the tortilla edges are crisp, golden brown, and the meat inside is fully cooked. spin the skewers if necessary.

5. Prepare Dip & Glaze:

   While cooking, whisk the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and salt in a small bowl to make the dip. In a small pan, gently melt the butter with smoked paprika over low heat.

6. Finish & Serve:

   Remove the YANFLAMMA lid. Drizzle the warm, fragrant paprika butter directly over the sizzling pinwheels. Serve hot off the skewer alongside the cool garlic-cilantro Greek yogurt dip!
