Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 pieces large 8-inch flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz deli turkey breast slices
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup butter lettuce leaves, dried
Optional Add-ins
- Cucumber, avocado, red onion, dill, or chives Feel free to customize with these ingredients.
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by shredding the cheese, washing the lettuce, and ensuring the cream cheese is soft.
- Place the tortillas out on a cutting board, slightly overlapping them to ensure there are no gaps.
- Use a spatula or knife to spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese over each tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border on one edge.
- Place turkey slices over the cream cheese, overlapping them slightly for complete coverage.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the turkey, then add a light layer of dried lettuce.
- Starting from the edge closest to you, roll each tortilla tightly away from you, tucking in the filling as you go.
- Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap, twisting the ends like a candy wrapper, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp chef's knife to slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
Notes
Store any leftover pinwheel wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 to 5 days. For longer shelf life, keep them unsliced.
