Method:
For making the filling:
- In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese followed by salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder and parsley flakes and then veggies like green onions, red and green bell pepper. Mix thoroughly and keep aside.
For making Tortilla Pinwheels:
- Warm up a tortilla slightly either in microwave or on stove top . Now add a dollop of cream cheese filling and spread it evenly. Layer it with generous amount of cheese, sprinkle some red chilli flakes (optional) and top it with a evenly distributed layer of spinach leaves.
- Now starting from one side, roll the tortilla tight. Take a plastic wrap and place the tortilla seam-side down on it. Roll it so that the wrap covers the entire tortilla tightly. Tuck the sides inside. Repeat this procedure for the other roll too. Now place these into the refrigerator for about minimum of 30 mins to overnight.
- For the Cold Tortilla Pinwheel: when ready to serve cut each roll into 6-7 pinwheels and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
- For the Baked Tortilla Pinwheel: Preheat the oven to 375F, line baking tray with aluminium foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray/ oil. Place the cut tortilla pinwheels onto the sheet and bake for 10-15 mins until the cheese has melted and the tortilla are crisp. Turn mid way through. Remove on serving plate and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
