Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Other Ingredients
- 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 ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the chopped fresh spinach, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Assemble Pinwheels: Evenly spread the cheese and spinach mixture over each flour tortilla, covering the surface completely. Roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a log shape.
- Slice and Arrange: Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled tortilla into bite-sized pinwheel pieces. Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Brush and Bake: Lightly brush the tops of the pinwheels with olive oil to promote browning and crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Notes
- For a healthier version, use low-fat cream cheese and whole wheat tortillas.
- These pinwheels can be served warm or at room temperature, making them perfect for parties.
- Feel free to add herbs like basil or oregano to the filling for extra flavor.
- Make sure to slice the pinwheels evenly to ensure consistent baking.
