This is my take on spanakopita done easy. Instead of figuring out how to use filo dough, wrap your filling in whole wheat tortillas and bake until crispy. These roll ups are best served fresh, but they can also be made ahead and even frozen, just be sure to wait until cool before storing and to reheat and recrisp in the oven to serve.
