These easy turkey and cheese pinwheel wraps are quick, healthy snacks perfect for any occasion. They combine soft tortillas, turkey, sharp cheddar, and a creamy herb-seasoned spread for a satisfying bite.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • Thinly sliced turkey breast (about 8 oz / 225 g)
  • Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup / 100 g)
  • Cream cheese, softened (4 oz / 115 g)
  • Mayonnaise (2 tablespoons / 30 ml), optional
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped (1 tablespoon)
  • Garlic powder (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper, freshly ground (to taste)
  • Optional add-ins: thinly sliced cucumbers, spinach leaves, or roasted red peppers

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with mayonnaise (if using), chopped parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
  2. Place one 10-inch flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire tortilla.
  3. Layer about 2 oz sliced turkey breast evenly over the cream cheese, leaving a small margin at the edges. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top. Add optional veggies if desired.
  4. Roll the tortilla tightly but gently into a cylinder to avoid cracking.
  5. Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  6. Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Unwrap one roll at a time and slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife.
  8. Arrange pinwheels on a platter or store in an airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 2 days.

Notes

Softening the cream cheese before mixing ensures smooth spreading. Chill the rolled wraps for at least 30 minutes to make slicing easier and prevent unraveling. Use a sharp knife and wipe blade between cuts for clean slices. Avoid watery veggies unless dried to prevent sogginess. Wraps can be frozen tightly wrapped and thawed overnight before slicing.
