how to make Classic Spinach Dip Pinwheels

Ingredients:

10 oz frozen chopped spinach (thawed and well-drained)
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup (half packet) Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix
½ cup bacon pieces
4 oz water chestnuts (chopped)
4 spinach flour tortillas

Directions:

Start by chopping the water chestnuts into small pieces.
In a large bowl, mix the thawed spinach, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix until it’s well combined.
Gently fold in the chopped water chestnuts and crispy bacon pieces.
Take one spinach tortilla and spread a quarter of the spinach mixture evenly over it. Roll the tortilla up tightly from one end to the other. Repeat this step for the remaining tortillas.
Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
When you’re ready to serve, take off the plastic wrap and slice off the ends of each roll. Then cut each roll into 6 pieces, about 1 inch each. Arrange the slices on a platter.
