Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 Red bell pepper, small diced
- 0.5 Green bell pepper, small diced
- 1 Jalapeño, deseeded and finely diced
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 Large spinach tortillas
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced red bell pepper, diced green bell pepper, finely diced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
Lay a spinach tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
After chilling, unwrap the tortillas and use a sharp knife to slice them into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and enjoy!
