These Turkey and Cheese Pinwheel Roll-Ups are a quick, no-cook snack that comes together in about 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 810 slices deli turkey
  • 8 slices provolone, Swiss, or cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese: Remove cream cheese from fridge 30 minutes before starting, or microwave for 10-15 seconds until spreadable but not runny.
  2. Mix the filling: In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until smooth. Add a pinch of black pepper if desired.
  3. Prepare the tortillas: Lay one tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese mixture over the entire surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  4. Layer the turkey: Place 2-3 slices of turkey on top of the cream cheese, overlapping slightly.
  5. Add the cheese: Lay 2 slices of cheese over the turkey. If using spinach, scatter leaves evenly over the cheese.
  6. Roll it up tight: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a log, using fingers to keep it snug.
  7. Wrap and chill: Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  8. Slice and serve: Unwrap chilled rolls and place on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Wipe knife clean between cuts. Arrange on a platter and serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Let cream cheese come to room temperature for smooth spreading. Chill rolls for at least 30 minutes for clean slices. Use a serrated knife for best results. Make ahead up to 24 hours for better flavor. Do not freeze.
