Ingredients
Pinwheel Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1/2 cup artichoke hearts, diced
- 1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mix Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, thawed and drained chopped spinach, diced artichoke hearts, sour cream or Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a creamy mixture.
- Spread Mixture: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface, then spread the prepared filling evenly over each tortilla. You can adjust the thickness of the layer according to your preference, but a thick layer works well for a richer bite.
- Roll Up: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log, ensuring the filling stays inside and the roll is firm.
- Chill: Place the rolled tortillas in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This chilling step helps to solidify the dip inside, making the pinwheels easier to slice without losing their shape.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the rolls from the freezer and cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving plate and serve immediately as a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Make sure to thoroughly drain the thawed spinach to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
- The chilling step is essential for clean slicing but avoid freezing too long to prevent the tortillas from becoming hard.
- You can swap sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier, healthier option.
- Adjust red pepper flakes for desired spice level or omit for a milder taste.
- Pinwheels are best eaten fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
