Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch; spinach or whole wheat tortillas work well for added flavor and color
- 1/2 cup cream cheese softened (Philadelphia Original or a flavored variety like chive and onion)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard optional, for a tangy kick
- 8 slices deli turkey, ham or roast beef thinly sliced; smoked or oven-roasted turkey works best
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach washed and dried
- 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts or microgreens for a milder flavor
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots optional, for added crunch and color
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper optional, for a sweet, crisp bite
Optional Garnishes
- Toothpicks to secure the rolls
- Fresh parsley or dill for presentation
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Wash and dry the baby spinach and alfalfa sprouts thoroughly.
- Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or microwaving for 10 seconds. Mix with Dijon mustard if using.
- Thinly slice the red bell pepper and shred the carrots, if adding.
Spread the Cream Cheese
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
- Using a butter knife or offset spatula, spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese over the entire surface of the tortilla. Be sure to spread all the way to the edges to help seal the roll.
Layer the Fillings
- Place 2 slices of turkey evenly across the center of the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space at the edges for easier rolling.
- Add a layer of baby spinach leaves, followed by a small handful of alfalfa sprouts.
- Sprinkle shredded carrots and red bell pepper slices evenly over the top, if using.
Roll the Tortilla
- Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a log, keeping the fillings in place as you go.
- Press gently but firmly to ensure a compact roll. The cream cheese will help seal the edge.
Slice into Pinwheels
- Use a sharp knife to trim the uneven ends of the roll (chef’s treat!).
- Slice the roll into 1-inch pinwheels, wiping the knife clean between cuts for neat slices.
Repeat
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
