Merken

The secret to these pinwheels is the savory cream cheese spread infused with a touch of Dijon mustard and shredded cheddar. It provides a creamy foundation that holds the fresh ingredients together in a perfect spiral.

Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 120 g (4 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 100 g (3.5 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
• 200 g (7 oz) sliced turkey breast
• 60 g (2 oz) fresh baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, shredded cheddar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface. Evenly spread about a quarter of the cheese mixture over the tortilla, reaching the edges.

Step 3

Layer 50 g of turkey slices evenly over the cheese spread.

Step 4

Distribute a handful of spinach leaves (about 15 g) evenly on top of the turkey.

Step 5

Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla up tightly into a log.

Step 6

Repeat steps 2–5 with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 7

Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for easier slicing.

Step 8

Unwrap and trim the ends, then slice each roll into 6 even pinwheels.

Step 9

Arrange on a platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure your pinwheels look as good as they taste, use a very sharp chef's knife or a serrated knife to slice the rolls. Wiping the blade between cuts will prevent the cream cheese from smearing, keeping the layers distinct and beautiful.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding thinly sliced roasted red peppers to the layers or swap the flour tortillas for whole wheat versions. If you prefer a dairy-free option, hummus makes a fantastic and healthy substitute for the cream cheese spread.

Serviervorschläge

Display these pinwheels on a large platter for your next party, or pair a few slices with a side of fresh fruit for a complete, balanced lunch. They are best served chilled to maintain their firm structure and fresh flavor.
