Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Ensure at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 1 cup cooked spinach, chopped Can substitute with arugula or kale for a bolder flavor.
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cooked spinach, roasted red peppers, Parmesan cheese, and chopped nuts. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  2. Lay one tortilla flat on your workspace. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over it.
  3. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape.
  4. Repeat the process with the second tortilla and the remaining mixture.
  5. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the logs to set.
  6. When ready to serve, unwrap the logs and slice them into rounds. Arrange beautifully on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
