Mediterranean Pinwheels

Mediterranean Pinwheels are made by spreading a flavorful cream cheese mixture enhanced with garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and reserved tomato oil onto large tortillas. Chopped spinach, additional sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, feta, and fresh basil are layered before rolling tightly and slicing into bite-sized pinwheels. The mix of creamy, tangy, and herbaceous flavors with the tender tortilla creates a versatile savory snack or appetizer.

Description

Start by blending cream cheese, garlic, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, basil leaves, and oil from the sun-dried tomatoes jar into a smooth mixture. This spread serves as the base for each tortilla. Choosing flavored tortillas like spinach or sun-dried tomato adds extra aroma and color but regular flour tortillas are suitable.

Each tortilla is smeared with a generous layer of the cream cheese spread, topped with cooked and squeezed spinach, more sun-dried tomatoes, and a sprinkling of Parmesan and feta cheese. A line of fresh basil leaves is placed along the center before rolling the tortillas tightly into logs. Cutting into roughly one-inch slices forms pinwheels ready to chill until serving.

The combination delivers a creamy and savory filling with bursts of garlic and herbs. These pinwheels work well as finger foods at gatherings or light lunches. Refrigeration tightens the flavors while making them easy to handle.
