Ingredients

For the Pinwheels

1 cup cooked spinach, drained and chopped
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 gluten-free tortilla

Make sure all ingredients are fresh for the best flavor.

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Assemble the Pinwheels

Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the gluten-free tortilla.

Roll and Cut

Roll the tortilla tightly and slice it into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter.

Serve

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!

Tip: For extra flavor, add chopped herbs like dill or parsley to the filling.

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have leftovers, storing them properly is key to maintaining their freshness. Place the pinwheels in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 days. They can be enjoyed cold as a quick snack or appetizer, making them a convenient option for meal prep.

To prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy, it's best to keep the filling and tortillas separate until you're ready to serve. This way, you can enjoy the pinwheels at their best, with a delightful crunch and fresh taste.

Serving Suggestions

These Spinach and Feta Pinwheels pair beautifully with a variety of dips and sauces. Consider serving them alongside a tangy tzatziki sauce or a simple yogurt-based dip for an added layer of flavor. Hummus is another great option that complements the savory filling perfectly.

For a more substantial meal, serve the pinwheels with a side salad or some roasted vegetables. This will create a balanced plate that is both satisfying and healthy, making it a delightful option for lunch or dinner.

Nutritional Benefits

Spinach is a powerhouse of nutrients, rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and calcium. Incorporating spinach into your diet can help support your immune system and promote healthy skin. Paired with feta cheese, which is lower in fat than many other cheeses, this dish provides a delicious way to enjoy these health benefits.

Greek yogurt adds probiotics to the mix, supporting digestive health. Overall, these pinwheels not only satisfy your taste buds but also contribute to a well-rounded diet, making them a smart snack choice for anyone looking to eat healthier without sacrificing flavor.
