Quick and easy turkey and cheddar pinwheel wraps perfect for lunchboxes. Made with cream cheese, deli turkey, and sharp cheddar, these fun spiral wraps are kid-approved and ready in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8–10 slices deli turkey
  • 6–8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
  2. Lay one tortilla flat on a cutting board. Let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes if cold.
  3. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire tortilla, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
  4. Place 4-5 slices of deli turkey evenly over the cream cheese spread, overlapping slightly.
  5. Lay 3-4 slices of cheddar cheese on top of the turkey. Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes if using, pressing gently.
  6. Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly without tearing, keeping filling tucked in. Press down lightly to seal the edge.
  7. Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper, twisting the ends. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or 15 minutes in the freezer).
  8. Once chilled, unwrap and place on a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice into 1-inch thick rounds using a gentle sawing motion.
  9. Arrange pinwheels in a lunchbox or storage container. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room-temperature cream cheese to prevent tearing tortillas. Chill before slicing for clean cuts. Wipe knife between slices. These taste even better the next day. For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas. For lower sodium, use low-sodium deli turkey and reduced-fat cheese.
