Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped Fresh spinach offers essential vitamins and minerals while being low in calories.
  • 1 cup cream cheese This provides a creamy base for the pinwheels; for a lighter option, consider using reduced-fat cream cheese.
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Adds a nice stretch and flavor; can substitute with any cheese of your choice.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances the flavor; fresh garlic can be used for a more robust taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder Complements the filling; finely minced onions can be a fresh alternative.
  • 1 cup flour tortillas Choose whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to align with your dietary needs.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Basic seasonings that elevate the flavors; adjust according to your preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine chopped spinach, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well-blended.
  2. Evenly spread the cheesy spinach filling over each tortilla with a spatula, making sure to cover edge to edge for maximum flavor in each bite.
  3. Carefully roll each tortilla tightly to ensure that the filling stays secure.
  4. Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled tortillas into 1-inch pieces, creating beautiful pinwheel shapes.
  5. Enjoy these delicious treats fresh or store them in the refrigerator for later use.

Notes

To enhance flavor, let the pinwheels rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before slicing. You can substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative for a healthier option.
