Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Sauté fresh spinach briefly until wilted, then drain thoroughly to remove all excess moisture. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crumbled feta, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth. Gently fold in the cooled spinach to blend evenly.
  2. Spread the Filling: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Using a spatula or butter knife, spread a thick, even layer of the spinach and feta filling over each tortilla, leaving a small margin around the edges to avoid overflow when rolling.
  3. Roll and Chill: Tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape. Wrap each log securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow flavors to meld.
  4. Slice and Serve: Remove the chilled tortilla logs from the refrigerator, unwrap, and slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and garnish as desired.

Notes

  • Drain spinach well to prevent watery filling and soggy tortillas.
  • Use full-fat cheeses for creamier and more flavorful results.
  • Roll tortillas tightly to maintain structure and prevent filling from spilling.
  • Chill before slicing for cleaner, neater pinwheel cuts.
  • These pinwheels keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and improve in flavor if made ahead.
