# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
02 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
03 - 1/2 cup sour cream
04 - 1 packet ranch dressing mix
05 - 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and thoroughly drained
06 - 1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped
07 - 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
08 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

→ Assembly

09 - 4 large flour tortillas

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix with a spatula or hand mixer until completely smooth and homogenous.
02 - Incorporate the ranch dressing mix into the creamy base. Stir until evenly distributed.
03 - Press excess moisture from thawed spinach using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Add the spinach to the bowl and mix to combine.
04 - Gently fold in the chopped green onions, diced red bell pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
05 - Place flour tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly spread a quarter of the spinach mixture over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
06 - Roll up each tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a cylinder.
07 - Wrap each tortilla roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and firm up.
08 - Unwrap each roll and, using a sharp knife, slice crosswise into 1-inch thick pinwheels, cleaning knife between cuts for best results.
09 - Arrange pinwheels cut-side up on a serving platter and serve chilled.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure spinach is thoroughly drained to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
02 - Refrigeration is key for clean slicing and proper pinwheel shape.
03 - A serrated or very sharp knife ensures neat presentation; wipe blade between cuts.
04 - Pinwheels can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and kept chilled until serving time.
