Popeyes
Creamy spinach and bacon filling wrapped in tortillas create a savory, easy-to-make appetizer or snack perfect for parties or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Thaw the spinach and remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, combine the spinach with mayonnaise, onion soup mix, sour cream, and bacon bits.
- Spread the spinach mixture evenly over each flour tortilla.
- Roll up each tortilla like a jelly roll.
- Cut each rolled tortilla into 1-inch pieces.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a bit of cream cheese to the spinach mixture. You can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream for a healthier option. If you prefer a bit of heat, add some diced jalapeños to the filling. This recipe can also be adapted to include other vegetables, making it a versatile addition to your repertoire of American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These rolled tortillas can be served as a party appetizer or a light lunch. Pair them with a fresh salad or vegetable platter for a balanced meal. They also go well with a side of Easy Bean Dip for a fun twist. For a heartier option, serve alongside Campbell'S Meat Loaf for a complete dinner experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rolled tortillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pieces on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 30-60 seconds, but they may lose some crispness.

To prevent sogginess, ensure that the spinach is thoroughly thawed and drained of excess moisture before mixing with other ingredients. Additionally, you can lightly toast the tortillas in a dry skillet before adding the filling, which helps maintain their texture and adds a nice flavor.
