Ingredients

Scale

4 large flour tortillas (gluten-free or whole wheat optional)
8 slices deli turkey breast
½ cup cream cheese (plain or herbed)
1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned
½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
½ cucumber, sliced into thin matchsticks or rounds
1 cup baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
Optional Add-ins:
- 2 tbsp hummus
- 2 tbsp finely shredded cheese
- 1 tbsp honey mustard

Instructions

Prep the Veggies:
Wash and slice the carrot, bell pepper, and cucumber into thin, bite-sized strips. Pat dry to avoid soggy wraps.
Spread the Base:
Lay a tortilla flat and evenly spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese or your preferred spread across the surface.
Layer the Fillings:
Add 2 slices of turkey, followed by a few strips of each veggie and a small handful of spinach.
Roll It Tight:
Starting at one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a firm log. Make sure the ingredients stay tucked in.
Slice into Pinwheels:
Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled wrap into 1-inch slices. Wipe the blade between cuts for clean edges.
Serve or Chill:
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to help them hold their shape. Great for lunchboxes!

Notes

You can swap cream cheese for hummus, ranch, or herbed Greek yogurt.

For vegetarian pinwheels, leave out the turkey and add extra veggies or tofu.

Avoid overfilling the tortilla to keep rolls tight and easy to slice.

Pinwheels can be made a few hours ahead and stored in the fridge until serving.
