- 4 large (10-inch) spinach herb tortillas
- 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
How to Make Spinach Dip Pinwheels
Step 1: Make the spinach filling.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Fold in the chopped spinach, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and green onions.
Step 2: Spread the filling.
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread an even layer of spinach filling over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 3: Roll the tortillas.
Starting at one edge, roll the tortilla up tightly into a log. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 4: Chill the pinwheels.
Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. Chilling helps the filling firm up so the pinwheels are easier to slice.
Step 5: Slice and serve.
Remove the plastic wrap and trim the ends of each roll. Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the rolls into approximately 1-inch pieces.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Tips for Making the Best Spinach Pinwheels
Chop the spinach finely. Smaller pieces of spinach make the filling easier to spread and help the pinwheels hold together when sliced.
Don’t skip the chilling time. Refrigerating the rolled tortillas makes a big difference. The filling firms up and the slices hold their shape much better.
Use a serrated knife. A gentle sawing motion helps keep the tortillas from getting squished when you slice them.
Make them ahead. You can prepare the rolled tortillas the day before your party. Keep them wrapped in the refrigerator and slice them shortly before serving.
Can You Make Spinach Pinwheels Ahead of Time?
Yes! These are one of my favorite make-ahead appetizers.
You can prepare the filling and roll the tortillas up to 24 hours ahead of time. Wrap the rolls tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator.
For the prettiest presentation, wait until shortly before serving to slice them. Store leftover pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
