Ingredients

Scale

Pinwheel Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas (or gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spinach Filling: Gently sauté the fresh spinach in a little olive oil over medium heat until wilted and tender. Allow it to cool briefly, then combine with crumbled feta, garlic powder, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the flavorful filling.
  2. Spread the Filling on Tortillas: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the spinach and feta mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  3. Roll and Chill: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a log shape to form the pinwheels. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up and make slicing easier.
  4. Slice and Serve: Once chilled, unwrap the rolled tortillas and slice into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and enjoy immediately or store for later snacking.

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach instead of frozen for a crisp texture and vibrant color.
  • Do not overfill the tortillas; spread filling evenly but thinly to avoid tearing.
  • Chill the rolls before slicing for cleaner, attractive pinwheel slices.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut slices smoothly without squashing the pinwheels.
  • For best flavor, prepare the pinwheels a day ahead to allow flavors to meld.
