Turkey pinwheels are quick and easy no-cook snacks made with tortillas, cream cheese, turkey, and fresh veggies. They’re perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or meal prepping, offering endless customization options!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 12 slices deli turkey
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tortilla Base: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  2. Spread the Cream Cheese: Spread a thin, even layer of softened cream cheese across the entire tortilla.
  3. Layer the Turkey and Veggies: Add 2-3 slices of turkey over the cream cheese. Sprinkle shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, and shredded carrots evenly on top.
  4. Season the Filling: Lightly sprinkle ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper over the layered ingredients.
  5. Roll the Tortilla: Tightly roll the tortilla into a log, starting from one edge and applying gentle pressure as you roll.
  6. Chill the Rolls: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Slice and Serve: Remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Roll Tightly: Apply even pressure while rolling the tortilla. A tight roll ensures the pinwheels hold their shape and don’t unravel.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp blade is essential for clean, uniform slices. Avoid using a dull knife, as it can squish the roll and ruin the presentation.
  • Storage Tip: Store the sliced pinwheels in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. They will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
