Ingredients
Scale
Spinach Dip Mixture
- 10 oz frozen chopped spinach (thawed and well-drained)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup (half packet) Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix
- 4 oz water chestnuts (chopped)
- ½ cup bacon pieces (cooked and crispy)
Wraps
- 4 spinach flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Water Chestnuts: Finely chop the water chestnuts to ensure they incorporate well into the dip and provide a nice crunch.
- Combine Dip Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the thawed and well-drained chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and the Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Texture Components: Gently fold in the chopped water chestnuts and crispy bacon pieces, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the spinach dip mixture.
- Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay one spinach tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately a quarter of the spinach dip mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving no gaps. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a log. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Chill to Set: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap to maintain shape. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pinwheels to firm up, making them easier to slice.
- Slice and Serve: When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap from the rolls. Slice off the ends of each roll to create clean edges, then cut each roll into 6 equal, approximately 1-inch thick, pinwheel pieces. Arrange them neatly on a serving platter and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Be sure to thoroughly drain the thawed spinach to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add extra water chestnuts or substitute with roasted nuts for crunch.
- This dip can be made a day in advance to save time on serving day; just keep refrigerated tightly wrapped.
- You can substitute the spinach tortillas with regular flour tortillas if unavailable, though spinach flavor adds extra dimension.
- If you prefer less salt, adjust the amount of Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix accordingly.
