Mediterranean Pinwheels
Mediterranean Pinwheels are an easy vegetarian appetizer! Stuffed with 3 cheeses, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil, they are a HUGE crowd pleaser! With VEGAN and LOW CARB options as well!
Ingredients
- 6 large tortillas, I like spinach flavor or sun-dried tomato but can use regular (see above notes)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper
- 2 TBS Fresh or pre-minced garlic
- 6 ounces sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped and oil reserved
- 10-12 ounces frozen spinach, cooked, water squeezed out, chopped
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup feta cheese crumbles
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
-
First make the cream cheese mixture: Add cream cheese, 2 TBS garlic, 3-4 sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, 5-6 basil leaves, and 2 TBS oil from the sun-dried tomatoes jar to the bowl of a food processor or blender. Blend for 30 seconds, scrape down the sides, and blend 10-15 more seconds or until completely combined. Set aside.
-
Set out 6 tortillas (I like flavored tortillas like spinach or sun-dried tomato for this recipe, but you can also use plain flour or LOW CARB).
-
Assemble: On each tortilla spread a thick layer of cream cheese, chopped spinach, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 1 teaspoon parmesan cheese, 1-2 teaspoon feta cheese. In the center, make a line from end to end of fresh basil leaves.
-
Starting from an outer edge parallel to the basil, roll tightly while gently squeezing to keep together. Repeat for all tortillas.
-
Using a serrated knife, cut in about 1 inch pinwheels. Repeat for all tortillas.
-
Cover and refrigerate until serving. Enjoy!
