Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding diced bell peppers or olives to the spinach mixture. If you want a lower-calorie option, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream. Additionally, using whole wheat tortillas can add a nutty flavor and extra fiber. Make sure the spinach is thoroughly dried to prevent sogginess in the wraps.
Serving Suggestions
These hors d'oeuvres are perfect for parties and can be served alongside a variety of dips, such as salsa or guacamole. They pair beautifully with Sweet And Sour Hawaiian Meatballs for a delightful appetizer spread. Consider adding a fresh salad or vegetable platter to complement the richness of the tortillas.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To serve, simply slice the tortillas into pinwheels. There’s no need to reheat these hors d'oeuvres, as they are delicious cold and retain their flavor well even after several days.
