Ingredients

For the Filling

1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Pinwheels

4 large flour tortillas
1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)

Helpful Note: Make sure the spinach is well-drained to avoid a watery filling.

How to Make Spinach Dip Pinwheels

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the pinwheels come out warm and perfectly baked.
Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the thawed spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. This step is crucial for a creamy texture.
Spread on Tortillas: Lay a tortilla on a clean surface. Evenly spread about a quarter of the filling over the entire tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll It Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly. Repeat this with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Slice into Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch pieces. Arrange them in a greased baking dish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are golden and the filling is hot. The scent will fill your kitchen with warmth!

How to Serve Spinach Dip Pinwheels

Garnish: Sprinkle with extra shredded cheese or fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color.
