Ingredients
- 3 large flour tortillas
- 6 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 6 slices sliced deli turkey
- 3 slices sliced cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup baby spinach leaves
Steps
- 1
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean cutting board.
- 2
Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese over the whole tortilla.
- 3
Layer two slices of turkey, one slice of cheese, and a few spinach leaves on top.
- 4
Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla up tightly into a log.
- 5
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
- 6
Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes so the pinwheels hold together.
- 7
Unwrap and slice each roll into pinwheels about 1 inch thick with a butter knife (an adult can help if the roll is firm).
- 8
Arrange the pinwheels on a plate, cut side up, and serve.
Kids can help with:
- Spreading the cream cheese onto the tortilla
- Layering the turkey, cheese, and spinach
- Rolling the tortilla up and slicing it into pinwheels
Tips & Notes
- Chilling the rolled tortilla before slicing is the key step - it keeps the pinwheels from unrolling.
- Swap in ham or a plant-based deli slice, and any mild cheese, to suit what your kids like.
