Ingredients
- Flour tortillas (8-inch size; whole wheat optional)
- 8 ounces deli turkey slices (thinly sliced turkey breast)
- 4 ounces sliced cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- Handful fresh spinach leaves, washed and patted dry
- 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard (if using). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place one tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture all over, reaching the edges.
- Layer 2 ounces (about 4 slices) of deli turkey evenly over the cream cheese. Follow with 1 ounce of sliced cheese, covering the turkey.
- Evenly scatter fresh spinach leaves, thin slices of red bell pepper, and shredded carrots over the cheese.
- Starting at one edge, roll the tortilla tightly but gently to avoid tearing. If the tortilla feels dry, warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds before rolling.
- Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Remove from fridge, unwrap, and slice the roll into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife. Arrange on a platter or store in an airtight container.
Notes
Do not overfill the wraps to avoid tearing and difficulty rolling. Use softened cream cheese for easy spreading. Chill the rolled wraps before slicing to maintain shape. Use a sharp serrated knife for clean slices. Store pinwheels in an airtight container and consume within 3 days for best freshness. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese with hummus. For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas.
