Creamy Spinach Roll-Ups are soft tortillas filled with a luscious spinach and cheese mixture, then rolled and sliced into elegant pinwheels. Perfect as appetizers, snacks, or lunch bites, they’re easy to make, flavorful, and endlessly customizable.

Ingredients

6 large flour tortillas or flatbreads (8″–10″)

1 cup cooked spinach, well-drained and chopped

8 oz (¼ lb) cream cheese, softened

¼ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

½ cup grated Parmesan or shredded mozzarella (optional)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives (or 1 teaspoon dried)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional: sliced tomato, roasted red pepper strips, or sautéed mushrooms for layering

Instructions

  1. If using frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out excess liquid. Chop finely and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth. Fold in spinach, cheese (if using), garlic, lemon zest, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat and spread about ¼ of the spinach mixture over it, leaving a small border. Add optional veggies if using. Roll tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  4. Wrap each roll in plastic or parchment and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
  5. Unwrap and slice each roll into 1″–1.5″ pinwheels.
  6. (Optional) Toast pinwheels cut-side down in a skillet for 1–2 minutes until golden.
  7. Arrange pinwheels on a platter and serve chilled or warm, with dips if desired.

Notes

Ensure spinach is very well drained to avoid soggy tortillas.

For vegan option, use dairy-free cheese and yogurt.

Make up to 24 hours in advance and slice before serving.

Serve with dips like tzatziki, pesto, or spicy aioli.

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
