Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened for easy spreading; consider flavored varieties.
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach Optional to swap with kale or lettuce.
  • 1 cup Bell Peppers Choose various colors for a festive appearance.
  • 1/2 cup Olives Black olives work great for adding spooky 'eyes'.
  • 1/4 cup Chives or Green Onions Finely chopped for added crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese on each tortilla.
  2. Place a few fresh spinach leaves over the cream cheese.
  3. Sprinkle chopped bell peppers generously across the spinach.
  4. Start from one side and gently roll the tortilla tightly.
  5. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortillas into 1-inch thick pinwheels.

Notes

Allow the pinwheels to chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes post-slicing for better shape. Experiment with fillings like arugula or add cheese for variations.
