How to Make Spinach Artichoke Dip Pinwheels

Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, thawed and drained chopped spinach, diced artichoke hearts, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated into a smooth filling.
Step 2: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the prepared spinach and artichoke dip mixture over each tortilla, adjusting the thickness to your preference.
Step 3: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside evenly. Rolling tightly helps the pinwheels hold together when sliced.
Step 4: Place the rolled tortillas in the freezer for approximately 10 minutes. This firms up the filling, making it easier to slice.
Step 5: Remove the chilled logs from the freezer and cut them into 1/2 inch thick slices using a sharp knife. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately.

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, thawed and drained chopped spinach, diced artichoke hearts, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a smooth, uniform filling.
Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the prepared spinach and artichoke dip mixture over each tortilla. You can make the layer as thick or thin as you prefer; a thicker layer works well for a more substantial bite.
Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside evenly. Rolling tightly helps the pinwheels hold together when sliced.
Place the rolled tortillas in the freezer for approximately 10 minutes. This chilling step firms up the filling, making the logs easier to slice and helping the slices retain their shape.
Remove the chilled logs from the freezer and cut them into 1/2 inch thick slices using a sharp knife. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately as a tasty appetizer or snack.
