Description
Colorful and easy-to-make turkey pinwheel wraps featuring fresh veggies, creamy cheese, and lean turkey, perfect for quick lunches or lunchboxes.
Ingredients
- Large flour tortillas
- Thinly sliced turkey breast
- Cream cheese, softened (plain or with herbs)
- Rainbow bell peppers (red, yellow, green), thinly sliced
- Shredded carrots
- Cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
- Baby spinach or mixed greens
- Shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash all veggies thoroughly. Thinly slice bell peppers into long strips, shred carrots, peel and slice cucumber thinly, and wash baby spinach. Set aside.
- Soften cream cheese in a mixing bowl, optionally mixing in salt, pepper, or dried herbs.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spread a thin, even layer of softened cream cheese over the surface, leaving about a half-inch border.
- Layer turkey slices evenly over the cream cheese, then add bell peppers, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, spinach, and shredded cheese if using.
- Roll the tortilla tightly but gently, folding in edges to keep fillings inside. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper.
- Chill the wrapped roll in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up (optional but recommended).
- Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the roll into 1-inch rounds to form pinwheels.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Notes
Keep veggies dry to avoid soggy wraps. Use soft, fresh tortillas and warm slightly if needed for pliability. Chill wrapped rolls before slicing for neat pinwheels. Can prepare the night before and slice before serving. Use serrated knife for clean cuts.
