Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole wheat tortillas
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 1 piece lime
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 100 grams sweet corn kernels
- 100 grams black beans
- 1 piece red bell pepper
- 50 grams baby spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 piece jalapeño
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, juice of one lime, smoked paprika, cumin powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined and set aside.
Rinse and drain the black beans. Rinse the sweet corn kernels if using canned, or steam them if using fresh corn.
Finely dice the red bell pepper and jalapeño. Be sure to deseed the jalapeño if you prefer less heat.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves finely and set aside.
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
Spread a generous layer of the seasoned cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, reaching all edges.
Sprinkle a thin layer of sweet corn kernels, black beans, diced red bell pepper, and jalapeño over the cream cheese.
Add 5-6 baby spinach leaves and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top of the vegetables.
Tightly roll the tortilla from one end to the other, creating a neat roll.
Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch thick pieces to create bite-sized pinwheels.
Arrange the roll ups on a serving platter. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
