Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Thinly slice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and zucchini.
In a bowl, toss the sliced vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove and let them cool.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the plant-based beef alternative according to the package instructions. Season with garlic powder and paprika for extra flavor.
Lay out the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of softened cream cheese over each tortilla.
Place fresh spinach leaves evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Evenly distribute the roasted vegetables and cooked plant-based beef across the tortillas.
Starting at one end, tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape.
Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
Once chilled, unwrap the logs and slice each into 1-inch pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and enjoy your Vegetarian Beef Plank Pinwheels.
