Suggested Recipes
-
1 pkg (10 oz/300 g) 1 frozen spinach, thawed
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 cup (125 mL) light_cream_cheese, softened
1/4 cup (50 mL) light sour cream
1/3 cup (75 mL) finely chopped water chestnuts
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
6 large plain or sun-dried_tomato-flavoured tortillas
1 roasted red pepper, sliced
Preparation:
In sieve, press spinach to remove as much moisture as possible; finely chop and place in bowl. Add green onion, cream cheese and sour cream; stir to combine. Add water chestnuts, garlic, salt and pepper; mix well. Divide among tortillas, spreading over each and leaving 3/4-inch (2 cm) border.
Divide red pepper over top, lining up slices about 1-inch (2.5 cm) from 1 edge; starting at same edge, tightly roll up. Wrap individually in plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.) Slice diagonally into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices.
