1 cup spinach leaves, chopped
One 6-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts, chopped

Using a spoon or offset spatula, spread the mixture all the way to the edges of each tortilla.

  • For the spicy pinwheels: Divide the pepper jack between the jalapeno-Cheddar tortillas topped with the base spread. Divide the arugula, sliced peppers and chopped cherry peppers between the tortillas. Roll up the tortillas tightly and individually wrap in plastic.
