Spanish Tortillas
Creamy spinach and bacon-filled tortillas with ranch flavor make a delicious, savory snack or appetizer, perfect for satisfying cravings and sharing with friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, and dry Hidden Valley Ranch dressing.
- Spread the mixture a little thicker than butter on flour tortillas.
- Roll up the tortillas and refrigerate overnight.
- Cover with plastic wrap to keep moist.
- When ready to serve, cut into bite-sized pieces.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider replacing half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. If you prefer a bit of heat, a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper can elevate the flavors. Make sure to squeeze the spinach thoroughly to avoid excess moisture that may make the tortillas soggy. This recipe can be a great appetizer at parties and pairs beautifully with Jamaican Shrimp And Rice.
Serving Suggestions
These bite-sized rolls make an excellent appetizer, perfect for gatherings or game day. Serve them alongside fresh vegetable platters or a zesty dipping sauce for added flavor. They also pair wonderfully with light salads or can be served as a side to heartier dishes. Consider complementing the meal with a refreshing drink or a light soup like Kapusta(Polish Cabbage Soup) to balance the richness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can serve them cold, or if you prefer them warm, place the cut pieces on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. This will help maintain their texture.
