Perfect for parties, picnics, or as a quick snack, Spinach Roll-Ups are sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Their vibrant green filling and creamy texture make them both visually appealing and deliciously satisfying. Serve them cold or at room temperature for a fresh, tasty bite.

Ingredients:

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper (optional, for color and crunch)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
2. Add the Spinach and Mix-Ins: Stir in the chopped spinach, shredded cheese, green onions, and red bell pepper (if using). Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 1/4 of the spinach mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a log.
4. Chill the Rolls: Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
5. Slice and Serve: Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into 1-inch pieces. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.

Spinach Roll-Ups are a tasty and convenient snack that can be made ahead of time and served at your next gathering. The creamy filling, combined with the fresh spinach and optional colorful veggies, makes these roll-ups both healthy and delicious.
