In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped dill, chopped chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface using a spatula.
Place a quarter of the smoked salmon slices on top of the cream cheese layer, spreading them out evenly to cover the tortilla.
Add a thin layer of baby spinach leaves over the salmon slices, ensuring an even distribution.
Tightly roll the tortilla from one edge to the other to form a log. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and garnish with an extra sprinkle of dill or chives if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
