In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla.
Layer slices of smoked salmon evenly on top of the cream cheese layer. If using spinach leaves, arrange a single layer of spinach on top of the salmon.
Tightly roll the tortilla from one edge to the other to create a cylindrical shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up for easier slicing.
Remove the pinwheel rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 1-inch slices to create pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately. Enjoy!
