Quick and tasty bite-sized rolls packed with turkey, cheese, and a hint of tangy mustard, wrapped in soft tortillas. Perfect for last-minute gatherings and party snacks.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • Deli turkey slices (8-10 slices)
  • Cheddar cheese, shredded or sliced (1 cup / 100g)
  • Cream cheese, softened (4 oz / 115g)
  • Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped (1 tablespoon)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins: Thinly sliced red bell pepper or cucumber, dash of smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Mix the cream cheese filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley or chives, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  2. Lay out the tortillas: Place one tortilla flat on your cutting board. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface.
  3. Add turkey and cheese: Arrange 4-5 slices of turkey evenly over the cream cheese. Then sprinkle or layer shredded cheddar cheese on top. Add optional veggies if using.
  4. Roll it up: Starting at one edge, carefully roll the tortilla into a tight cylinder, pressing gently to shape.
  5. Chill the rolls: Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Slice into pinwheels: Remove from fridge, unwrap, and slice into 1-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife. Clean the blade between cuts for neat edges.
  7. Arrange and serve: Place pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately or chill until ready.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before spreading for smooth application. Chill roll-ups before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use a sharp knife and clean blade between slices. Can skip chilling but slices may be less tidy. Substitute ingredients for dietary needs or flavor variations.
