Print Recipe

These quick and easy turkey and cheddar pinwheel roll-ups are perfect for lunchboxes, picnics, or a fun snack. Made with simple ingredients, they come together in under 10 minutes and stay fresh for days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 slices deli turkey breast
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • Optional: fresh spinach leaves, avocado slices, honey mustard

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
  2. Place one flour tortilla flat on a cutting board.
  3. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, all the way to the edges.
  4. Layer 2 slices of deli turkey over the cream cheese, overlapping slightly to cover the tortilla.
  5. Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese over the turkey.
  6. If using optional add-ins (spinach, avocado, honey mustard), add them now.
  7. Starting from the edge closest to you, roll the tortilla tightly away from you, keeping the filling tucked in. Place seam-side down.
  8. Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  9. After chilling, unwrap the roll and slice into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife with a gentle sawing motion.
  10. Serve immediately or pack in lunchboxes.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid tearing the tortilla. Chilling the roll for at least 30 minutes before slicing is crucial for clean cuts. These can be made the night before and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For freezing, wrap uncut rolls tightly and freeze for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before slicing.
