Print Recipe

A quick and easy snack featuring turkey, cheese, and cream cheese spread rolled in flour tortillas. Perfect for busy days, parties, or lunchboxes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas (whole wheat preferred for a healthier twist)
  • 6 slices deli-sliced turkey breast (low-sodium preferred)
  • 4 slices cheese (cheddar, Swiss, provolone, or mozzarella)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey mustard or mayonnaise (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with honey mustard or mayonnaise if using, stirring until well combined.
  3. Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface at room temperature.
  4. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
  5. Place 1-2 slices of deli turkey over the cream cheese on each tortilla, covering the surface without overlapping too much.
  6. Top with 1 slice of cheese on each tortilla. Tear large slices into smaller pieces if needed for easier rolling.
  7. Starting at one edge, roll the tortilla tightly but gently to avoid tearing and keep the filling snug inside.
  8. Optional: Wrap the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to help keep their shape.
  9. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels, yielding about 6-8 pinwheels per roll.
  10. Arrange the pinwheels on a plate and serve immediately or pack for a snack on the go.

Notes

Use fresh, pliable tortillas warmed slightly to prevent cracking. Chill roll-ups before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use a sharp serrated knife to avoid squashing. Double-wrap pinwheels for freshness if packing for lunch. Variations include vegetarian fillings, gluten-free tortillas, and spicy or herb-infused spreads.
