Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Others
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Assemble Pinwheels: Spread the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over each flour tortilla, ensuring an even layer. Then roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a log shape.
- Slice and Arrange: Slice the rolled tortillas into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick, and place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the pinwheels lightly with olive oil to help them brown while baking.
- Bake: Bake the pinwheels in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh spinach with frozen spinach if drained thoroughly.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
- These pinwheels can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- They pair well with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
