  2. Layer sliced red and yellow bell peppers, julienned cucumber, shredded carrots, and purple cabbage on the bottom edge of each tortilla.
  3. Gently fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom edge to form pinwheels.
  4. Slice the rolls into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a serrated knife.
  5. Prepare fruit coins by slicing kiwi, banana, and strawberries into rounds, tossing them in lemon juice.
  6. Assemble your Bento by placing veggie pinwheels in one compartment and fruit coins in another.
