Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Additional
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and garlic powder. Stir until the ingredients are well blended.
- Spread Filling: Evenly spread the spinach and cheese mixture over each flour tortilla, making sure to cover the surface fully for consistent flavor in each bite.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other, then slice the rolled tortillas into bite-sized pinwheels.
- Prepare for Baking: Arrange the pinwheel slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil to help them brown.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or until the pinwheels turn golden brown and the cheese melts nicely.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure easy mixing and spreading.
- Fresh spinach works best, but you can use thawed and drained frozen spinach if needed.
- Brush with olive oil for a crispier exterior and enhanced flavor.
- Serve warm for best taste, and they can be refrigerated and reheated later.
- Feel free to add herbs like basil or oregano to customize the flavor.
