Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups fresh spinach
Additional Ingredients
- 8 large tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the roll-ups.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, thoroughly mix ricotta, shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a creamy and flavorful filling.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread an even layer of the cheese mixture over it.
- Add Spinach Layer: Place a handful of fresh spinach evenly over the cheese mixture on the tortilla.
- Roll Tortilla: Tightly roll the tortilla starting from one edge, ensuring the filling stays intact, and place it seam-side down in a baking dish to prevent unrolling during baking.
- Repeat Assembly: Repeat the layering and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all are prepared and placed in the dish.
- Apply Olive Oil: Drizzle the tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the top of the stacked roll-ups to promote browning and add flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the roll-ups are heated through and the tops are slightly golden and crisp.
Notes
- You can substitute spinach with kale or Swiss chard for a different leafy green twist.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or Italian herbs into the cheese mixture.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
- These roll-ups can be prepared ahead of time and baked when needed.
