A pack of burrito sized Tortilla ( I used 5 Tortillas that make 20 mini pinwheels)
2 cups Pre-washed Baby spinach Chopped(or can be used without chopping also)
1 cup cream cheese softened
1/2 cup ranch dressing
Salt and Pepper as per taste
For Pesto:
1 Cup Roma Tomatoes (put a little cross cut on top of tomatoes)
1/4 cup Fresh Mint leaves
1/4 cup fresh coriander or parsley
2 dried whole red chillies
1 tbsp roasted peanuts
4 cloves of garlic
Salt & sugar as per taste
One bowl of ice cubes

1
To make the pesto, bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Once the water is boiling, put the tomatoes in water for 3-4 mins. Once the tomatoes are tender and the peel starts to come out, take the tomatoes out of the water and give an ice bath to stop cooking. Remove the peel. Now put the tomatoes in the blender along with other ingredients to make pesto.
2
In a stand mixer, take the Softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, little salt and pepper. Mix everything nicely at a medium speed to make a spread.
3
Lay out tortillas one by one on a flat surface or a cutting board. Spread the Cream cheese mix evenly on one side of each tortilla to cover the whole surface.
4
Add a layer of chopped spinach to cover the cream cheese layer completely.
5
In the middle of the tortilla, spread a think line of Tomato-Mint Pesto.
6
With the pesto layer parallel to you, start rolling the tortilla tightly towards the other end. Be careful not to roll it too tightly to avoid the filling from coming out.
7
Put all the rolled tortillas in the fridge for an hour so that the cheese is set firm again.
8
Take it out just before serving and slice the tortillas into equal sized mini-rolls
9
Serve chilled and enjoy the feast !
