These Spinach Dip Roll-Ups are an easy make-ahead appetizer inspired by classic spinach dip. Made with cream cheese, sour cream, spinach, jalapeño, roasted red pepper, and flour tortillas, they’re perfect for parties, holidays, game day, and casual entertaining.
Roll-ups, or pinwheels to some, might be my favorite appetizer. I’m honestly not sure what magic power these little bites have over me, but I sure do love them. And that’s probably obvious because I’ve made more than a dozen different versions here on Inspired by Charm.
Thankfully, the combination of flavors and ingredients is pretty endless when it comes to these easy appetizers, so I don’t have to stop any time soon. For this version, I took inspiration from classic spinach dip, another favorite of mine, and tucked it inside a tortilla. Talk about easy and delicious.
They’re kind of like spinach dip you can eat on the go. No dipping required, which I love. I added a couple jalapeños for a little kick, but the cream cheese and sour cream really mellow the heat, so it’s not overpowering. The vegetable soup mix adds that familiar savory flavor, and the roasted red pepper brings in a little color and sweetness.
All in all, it’s a delicious combination of ingredients that makes a wonderful appetizer that I think you’re going to love. With minimal hands-on time, you can have these Spinach Dip Roll-Ups ready for a party, celebration, or even a fun snack at home. This one is a must-try.

Ingredients
It’s time to gather the ingredients you’ll need to make this easy appetizer recipe.
- Frozen Spinach – This gives the roll-ups that classic spinach dip flavor and adds a hearty, savory base to the creamy filling.
- Cream Cheese – Softened cream cheese makes the filling rich, smooth, and easy to spread over the tortillas.
- Sour Cream – Sour cream lightens up the cream cheese a bit and adds that familiar tangy flavor you expect from a good spinach dip.
- Dry Vegetable Soup Mix – This is the shortcut ingredient that brings in lots of savory flavor without needing a long list of seasonings. I like the Knorr brand.
- Jalapeños – Minced jalapeños add just a little kick, but the creamy filling keeps the heat nice and balanced.
- Flour Tortillas – Large flour tortillas make these roll-ups easy to assemble, slice, and serve as bite-sized appetizers.
- Roasted Red Bell Pepper – Roasted red pepper adds color, a little sweetness, and a pretty stripe through the center of each pinwheel.
How To Make
Okay, let’s put together these Spinach Dip Roll-Ups. I’ll still take you through the steps below. I’ve also provided a full ingredient list and detailed instructions in the printable recipe card below.
- Cook the spinach according to the package directions.
- Transfer the cooked spinach to a colander or strainer and rinse with cold water to cool. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This helps keep the filling thick and prevents the tortillas from getting soggy.
- In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and vegetable soup mix until smooth and well blended. Add the minced jalapeños and spinach, then mix again until evenly combined.

- Lay the tortillas on a clean work surface. Spread one-third of the spinach mixture over each tortilla, leaving about a 1/2-inch border on one side. Place strips of roasted red pepper across the center of each tortilla, piecing them together as needed.
- Starting on the side opposite the border, roll each tortilla tightly at first, then ease up slightly as you continue rolling so the filling doesn’t squeeze out. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Place the rolled tortillas on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
- To serve, remove the plastic wrap and trim the ends of each roll. Cut each roll into 10 slices, arrange on a serving plate, and enjoy!
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of tortillas work best?
Soft, large flour tortillas work best because they’re flexible and easy to roll. If your tortillas feel a little stiff, you can warm them very briefly before spreading on the filling. Just let them cool slightly so the filling doesn’t soften too much while you assemble.
How do I keep the roll-ups from getting soggy?
The biggest thing is to remove as much water as possible from the spinach. After it cools, squeeze it really well with your hands, a clean kitchen towel, or paper towels. Also, you’ll want to avoid overfilling the tortillas, since too much filling can make them harder to roll and slice cleanly.
Can I make these the night before?
Yes, these are a great make-ahead appetizer. You can assemble the rolls the night before, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until you’re ready to slice and serve. For the cleanest slices, wait to cut them until shortly before serving.
