Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas (large, 10-inch)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Beet puree
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Chopped fresh spinach
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, beet puree, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until the mixture is smooth and evenly pink in color.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface.
Spread approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the pink cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla using a spatula.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese and a handful of fresh chopped spinach evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape, starting from one edge and rolling toward the other.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Once all the tortillas are rolled, use a sharp serrated knife to slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels flat side up on a serving platter.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
