Instructions
Prepare the Spinach Tortillas
- Blanch 10 oz fresh spinach in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Squeeze out excess water and puree the spinach.
- In a bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp baking powder. Gradually add the spinach puree and 1/4 cup water, kneading to form a soft dough. Adjust water as needed.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Make the Veggie Filling
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan. Sauté 1/2 cup diced mushrooms, 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, until softened. Stir in 1/2 cup grated carrot, 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Prepare the Creamy Dip
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix well.
Assemble the Pinwheels
- Roll out small portions of the spinach dough into thin circles (like small tortillas).
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or pan and cook the tortillas for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
- Spread a layer of the creamy dip on each tortilla.
- Top with the vegetable filling and lettuce.
- Tightly roll up the tortillas.
- Slice each tortilla roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Serve
- Serve immediately with extra dip and a fresh salad.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or garlic powder to the veggie filling.
- If you don't have fresh spinach, you can substitute with 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry.
- To make these ahead, prepare the tortillas and filling separately. Assemble the pinwheels just before serving.
- Get creative with the fillings! Add other vegetables like zucchini, corn, or black beans.
