Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. This recipe is forgiving. Make the filling and refrigerate for up to a day, then assemble and cook when you are ready. Assembling in advance is a practical way to streamline a busy evening.

Can I use frozen spinach?

Yes, but take care. Thaw and squeeze out excess water before cooking. If the spinach is too wet, the tortillas may become soggy. Once drained, proceed as you would with fresh leaves.

My tortillas crack when I fold them. What should I do?

Warm them briefly to make them pliable. A few seconds in a microwave or a short time over low heat will help. Also avoid overfilling; a modest amount of filling folds more neatly.

Is there a good dipping sauce?

A simple yogurt or tzatziki is a gentle match. You can also use a mild salsa or a light lemon-basil dressing for a fresher note.

Can children enjoy these as family-friendly desserts or snacks?

They are mild and approachable, making them suitable for many children as a savory snack or a simple part of a meal. Pair with easy dessert recipes if you want a sweet finish that is still no-fuss.
