- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Servings: 4
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 8 slices of deli turkey breast
- 8 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
Instructions:
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean cutting board.
- Spread about ½ tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly over the tortilla.
- Place two slices of turkey evenly over the mustard, followed by two slices of cheese.
- Arrange a handful of baby spinach leaves over the cheese layer.
- Start at one edge of the tortilla and roll it tightly into a log.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into bite-sized rounds, about 1 inch thick.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a tray and serve with your choice of dipping sauces on the side.
Helpful Tips:
- If the tortillas are slightly stiff, microwave them for about 10 seconds to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
- For extra flavor, add a few thin slices of avocado or a sprinkle of finely chopped red bell pepper to the filling.
- If serving at a picnic, pack the pinwheels in a container lined with parchment paper to keep them fresh.
Storage Instructions:
Store any leftover pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh, place a sheet of parchment paper between layers.
Ingredient Substitutions:
- Use hummus instead of Dijon mustard for a different flavor profile.
- Substitute Swiss cheese for cheddar if you prefer a milder taste.
- Whole wheat tortillas can be replaced with spinach or tomato wraps for added color.
Pairings:
These Turkey and Cheese Pinwheels pair wonderfully with fresh grapes, crisp vegetable sticks, and a refreshing glass of iced tea. For a more substantial meal, enjoy them alongside a mixed greens salad with a light vinaigrette.
