Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup sliced assorted bell peppers
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Remove cream cheese from refrigerator 30 minutes before assembly. Wash and slice all vegetables thinly for easy rolling.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Apply cream cheese evenly across entire tortilla surface, leaving small border around edges to prevent overflow.
- Layer Vegetables: Distribute spinach leaves first, then add bell peppers, cucumber slices, olives, and crumbled feta cheese evenly.
- Season: Sprinkle dried oregano over vegetable layer for authentic Mediterranean flavor throughout each bite.
- Roll Tightly: Starting from one edge, roll tortilla firmly but gently to avoid tearing while keeping filling secure.
