Ingredients:
-
Flour Tortillas: Begin by gathering your ingredients, including flour tortillas. Opt for the larger ones, as they’ll hold the filling better.
-
Frozen Chopped Spinach: Thaw out 2 packages of frozen chopped spinach ahead of time. Ensure you drain any excess water from the defrosted spinach to prevent the rolls from becoming soggy.
-
Mayonnaise: You’ll need 1 cup of mayonnaise for that creamy texture and rich flavor.
-
Sour Cream: Use 1 cup of sour cream to balance the richness of the mayonnaise and add a tangy kick.
-
Powdered Ranch Dressing: A packet of powdered ranch dressing adds zesty flavor and a hint of herbs to the filling mixture.
-
Bacon Bits: Lastly, include 1/2 cup of bacon bits for that irresistible smoky taste and crunchy texture.
Instructions:
-
Defrost and Drain: Begin by defrosting the 2 packages of spinach. Once thawed, ensure you drain any excess water thoroughly to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
-
Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, powdered ranch dressing, and bacon bits. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Incorporate Spinach: Add the thawed and drained spinach to the mixture. Continue stirring until the spinach is evenly distributed throughout the creamy base.
-
Prepare Tortillas: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Be sure not to overload them with filling to avoid spillage when rolling.
-
Roll Tortillas: Spread a thin layer of the spinach mixture evenly over each tortilla. Roll them up tightly, ensuring the filling is securely encased within the tortilla.
-
Chill: Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator and let them set for at least 1 hour. This will help the filling firm up and make slicing easier.
-
Slice and Serve: Once chilled, remove the rolls from the refrigerator and slice them into smaller segments. Arrange them on a serving platter and get ready to impress your guests!
