Description

A fast, budget-friendly, and kid-approved lunch option made with tortillas, turkey, cheese, and cream cheese. These pinwheels are easy to assemble, perfect for meal prep, and can be customized with various add-ins.

Ingredients

Scale

4 large flour tortillas (12-inch)
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1 lb (450g) deli turkey breast slices
2 cups (200g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups fresh spinach, packed
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped and drained
Optional: 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
Optional: 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
Optional: 1/4 cup bacon bits

Instructions

Prep ingredients: Shred cheese, chop sun-dried tomatoes, and wash/dry spinach. If using cucumbers, slice thin and pat dry.
Lay tortillas flat on a large cutting board. If stiff, microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften. Leave a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Spread a thin, even layer of softened cream cheese over each tortilla, leaving the 1-inch border clean.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese. Layer turkey slices (folded if necessary), spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes on top.
Starting from the bottom edge, roll the tortilla up tightly, tucking in the filling. Press the clean border to seal the roll.
Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (preferably 1 hour) to firm up.
Unwrap logs and slice into 1-inch thick rounds using a sharp serrated knife. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure tortillas are soft before rolling to prevent cracking. Drain sun-dried tomatoes well to avoid soggy pinwheels. Chilling is essential for clean slicing. Can be frozen for up to 1 month.
