Let’s Get Cooking!
How to Make Classic Spinach Dip Pinwheels
Alright, let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions! You’ll want to grab a large mixing bowl and your favorite mixing spoon for this…
Chop the Water Chestnuts: Start by chopping the water chestnuts into small pieces. This gives each bite a delightful crunch. It shouldn’t take you more than 5 minutes.
Mix It All Together: In a large bowl, combine the thawed spinach, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and the star of the show, Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix. Give it a good mix until everything is well blended; you want that creamy goodness to spread throughout.
Add Crunchy Goodness: Fold in the chopped water chestnuts and crispy bacon pieces. This is where the filling starts to become really exciting! Just make sure you’re not overdoing the stirring; we want that crunchy texture to stay intact.
Spread & Roll: Take a spinach tortilla and spread a quarter of your cream spinach mixture evenly over the surface. You want it to be nice and thin, so don’t overload it. Now, starting from one end, roll it up tightly all the way to the other end. Just like a burrito! Do this for all four tortillas.
Chill for Flavor: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. Trust me, letting them chill allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Slice to Perfection: When you’re ready to serve, unwrap the plastic and slice off the ends, which I typically nibble on as a chef’s treat! Cut each roll into six pieces, about 1 inch each. Arrange them nicely on a platter and watch them disappear!
