Ingredients
Sun-Dried Tomato Spread
- 2 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4-5 dashes Tabasco sauce
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Sandwich Fillings
- 2 tortilla wraps, 9 inch
- 200 grams sliced turkey breast
- 6 lettuce leaves
- 6 cheese slices (cheddar, provolone, monterey jack, or havarti)
Instructions
- Make the sun-dried tomato spread: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, mayonnaise, and Tabasco sauce. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the tortillas: Lay out each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of each tortilla to create a flavorful base.
- Add turkey and veggies: Place 4-5 slices of turkey breast on each tortilla, leaving a small space on one edge to allow easy rolling. Then position the cheese slices and lettuce leaves along the center of the tortilla on top of the turkey.
- Roll the tortillas: Starting from the edge with the turkey slices, tightly roll up each tortilla towards the opposite side, making sure to keep the fillings secure inside.
- Chill before slicing: Place the rolled tortillas seam side down in a baking dish or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to serve to help the pinwheels hold their shape.
- Slice and serve: When ready to eat, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheel pieces, yielding about 6-7 slices per tortilla. Optionally, secure each pinwheel with a toothpick and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, use tortillas that are pliable and not too dry to prevent cracking when rolling.
- The sun-dried tomato spread can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated.
- You can customize the cheese type to your preference or dietary needs.
- Adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the spread can enhance the flavor.
- These pinwheels are great for parties, picnics, or quick lunches.
