Perfect for Any Occasion

Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Pinwheels are a versatile dish that can elevate any gathering. Whether you're hosting a birthday party, a holiday celebration, or simply enjoying a movie night at home, these pinwheels are bound to impress your guests. Their creamy filling and savory flavors make them an irresistible snack that will have everyone coming back for seconds.

The pinwheels are not only delicious but also visually appealing. The vibrant green spinach and artichokes contrast beautifully with the creamy cheeses, making them a feast for the eyes as well. Arranging these pinwheels on a platter will add a touch of elegance to your table, setting the perfect backdrop for a memorable occasion.

Make Ahead for Convenience

One of the best things about these pinwheels is their make-ahead convenience. You can prepare the filling and roll the tortillas earlier in the day or even the night before. Just keep them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake. This allows you to spend more time with your guests and less time in the kitchen when it’s time to serve.

By preparing ahead, you can also experiment with different flavors. Consider adding spices or herbs to the filling or trying different types of cheese. Customize each batch to suit your taste or cater to dietary preferences, making these pinwheels a flexible addition to any menu.

Serving Suggestions

These pinwheels are delightful on their own, but you can elevate the experience by serving them with a variety of dipping sauces. A tangy marinara, zesty ranch, or a creamy garlic dip complement the flavors of the pinwheels beautifully. Encourage your guests to dip and share, creating a fun and interactive dining experience.

For a more substantial meal, pair these pinwheels with a fresh salad or a light soup. The crisp textures of the salad or the warmth of a soup will balance the richness of the pinwheels, making for a satisfying meal that is both tasty and filling.

Ingredients

Gather these ingredients before getting started.

For the Pinwheels

1 cup cooked spinach, drained and chopped
1 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large flour tortilla

Make sure to have everything ready before you start rolling the pinwheels.

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your delicious pinwheels.

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Spread the Mixture

Lay the flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

Roll and Slice

Starting from one end, tightly roll the tortilla until you reach the other end. Slice the roll into 1-inch pinwheels.

Bake the Pinwheels

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Allow pinwheels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Storage Tips

If you happen to have leftovers, storing them properly is key to maintaining their deliciousness. Place any uneaten pinwheels in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. They can last for up to three days, making them a great option for meal prep or quick snacks throughout the week.

To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through. This will help restore their crispy texture, allowing you to enjoy them just as much as when they were freshly baked.

Variations to Try

Get creative with your pinwheels by experimenting with different ingredients. For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the filling. Alternatively, substitute some of the cheeses with feta or goat cheese for a tangier flavor profile that pairs wonderfully with the spinach and artichokes.

You could also experiment with different types of tortillas. Whole wheat or spinach tortillas can add a unique twist and additional nutrients, while flavored options can enhance the overall taste. The possibilities are endless, making this recipe a great canvas for your culinary creativity.
