Ingredients
  

1 large flour tortilla (10-12 inches)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for sautéing)

Fresh herbs (such as dill or parsley) for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamy Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. Use a spatula or mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This forms the base of your pinwheel filling.

    Incorporate Vegetables and Seasoning: Gently fold in the chopped spinach, finely chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Add lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. For enhanced flavor, consider sautéing the spinach and garlic in olive oil for a couple of minutes before adding them to the bowl. This step caramelizes the garlic and wilts the spinach beautifully.

      Assemble the Pinwheels: Place the flour tortilla flat on a clean work surface or cutting board. Evenly spread the spinach-artichoke filling over the tortilla, ensuring to leave about a half-inch border around the edges. This will facilitate easier rolling and prevent spillage.

        Roll It Up Carefully: Starting from one edge of the tortilla, carefully roll it tightly away from you, ensuring that the filling stays inside. Roll snugly, but avoid excessive pressure to prevent the filling from bursting out.

          Chill for Best Slicing: Wrap the rolled tortilla snugly in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least 30 minutes. This step firms up the roll, making it easier to slice neatly.

            Slice and Present: Once chilled, remove the roll from the refrigerator. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-inch wide pieces to create beautiful pinwheels. Arrange them on a platter and, if desired, garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch of color and flavor. These delightful bites can be served with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoyed on their own!
