Directions and Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix together until everything is beautifully blended and creamy.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the luscious spinach dip mixture evenly over the tortilla, making sure to leave about half an inch around the edges.
- Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the spinach layer for that extra cheesy goodness.
- Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, ensuring that the delicious filling stays snug inside.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and the spinach filling. Each one is going to be a taste explosion!
- Once all the tortillas are rolled up nice and tight, wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set up properly.
- After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and slice each tortilla into bite-sized pinwheels, revealing that beautiful, swirled filling.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve them immediately, or cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to wow your guests!
Notes or Tips
Feel free to customize the filling! Adding ingredients like diced bell peppers, cooked bacon, or fresh herbs can enhance the flavor even more. These pinwheels can also be made a day in advance; just store them covered in the refrigerator for fresh flavors at your next event!
Cooking Techniques
Rolling tortillas tightly is key to making sure your pinwheels hold together and look pretty when sliced. Don’t be afraid to press down gently as you roll to keep the filling intact. Chilling them in the refrigerator not only helps them firm up, ensuring clean slices, but also allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
