Ingredients needed

Simple recipes are a favorite here at MoneywiseMoms, and this recipe for salmon pinwheels is just that! You only need:

• spinach herb wraps
• cream cheese
• sour cream
• grated Parmesan cheese
• red pepper flakes
• garlic powder
• frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• artichoke hearts

If you’re not a fan of spinach wraps, just use regular flour tortillas. You can also choose low carb tortillas, found in most stores. Other options are whole wheat tortillas or tomato-flavored ones.

Can I use prepared spinach artichoke dip instead?

Totally! If you don’t want to make the filling yourself, choose your favorite prepared spinach artichoke dip. You can always add some crushed red pepper or Tabasco sauce if you want more of a “kick.”

For making all pinwheel appetizers

Since we make pinwheels so often, I like to keep a silicone spreader on hand. It’s also useful for frosting cakes.

A serrated knife is the best way to cleanly cut through the rolled tortillas when it’s time to serve these spinach cream cheese pinwheels.

Making spinach cream cheese pinwheels

Start by draining and dicing the artichoke hearts. Drain the thawed spinach as well. Too much moisture will make the pinwheels soggy, so I often pat both ingredients dry with a paper towel.

In a mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.

Stir in the spinach and chopped artichoke hearts. Mix well.

Divide mixture between the spinach and herb wraps, and spread across the entire surface.

Start at one end, and roll tightly until you meet the other end. 

Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until ready to serve.

Using a serrated knife, discard the ends (or eat them!), and cut into one-inch sections.

Arrange on a platter to serve.
