Ingredients
8 large flour tortillas
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
1/3 cup green onions, finely sliced
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped for garnish
Instructions
1. Thaw the frozen spinach completely, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
2. Add softened cream cheese and sour cream to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth.
3. Mix in mozzarella, parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
4. Fold in the drained spinach, chopped bacon, and green onions until evenly combined.
5. Lay the tortillas flat and spread an even layer of spinach dip filling over each one.
6. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log, keeping the seam side down.
7. Wrap and refrigerate the rolls for at least 1 hour so they firm up.
8. Slice into pinwheels, garnish with fresh chives, and serve chilled or slightly cool.
Notes
Squeeze the spinach very well before mixing it into the filling. Extra moisture can make the tortillas soggy and cause the pinwheels to lose their shape.
