Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 ounces deli turkey slices (nitrate-free if possible)
- 4 ounces cream cheese spread, softened (plain or herb-flavored)
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix 4 ounces of softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of honey mustard until smooth and well combined.
- Place one large flour tortilla flat on a cutting board. Warm for 10 seconds in the microwave if cold to soften.
- Evenly spread the cream cheese and honey mustard mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla.
- Layer 2 ounces of thinly sliced deli turkey evenly over the cream cheese, overlapping slightly but not too thick.
- Scatter about 1/4 cup of fresh spinach leaves atop the turkey.
- Roll the tortilla tightly but gently from one edge to form a snug spiral.
- Optionally, wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled wrap into 1-inch thick pinwheels, aiming for about 8 pinwheels per tortilla.
- Arrange the pinwheels in a lunchbox or on a plate and serve immediately or chilled.
Notes
Warm tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking. Chill wrapped tortillas before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use a serrated or very sharp knife to avoid squishing the pinwheels. Customize the cream cheese spread with herbs or garlic powder for extra flavor. For gluten-free option, use corn or gluten-free tortillas. Vegetarian versions can replace turkey with roasted red peppers or grilled zucchini and add hummus.
