Description
A lightning-fast, no-cook snack perfect for busy parents or lazy afternoons. These roll-ups combine deli turkey, cheddar cheese, and cream cheese in a tortilla for a protein-packed, customizable treat ready in just 5 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12–16 slices lunch or deli turkey (about 12oz or 340g)
- 4–6 large flour tortillas (about 10-inch diameter)
- 1 block cheddar cheese (about 8oz or 225g), cut into strips or cubes
- 4oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Optional: baby spinach, sliced avocado, dill pickles, bacon strips
Instructions
- Prep ingredients: Slice cheddar cheese into 1/4-inch strips or cubes. Soften cream cheese by leaving it out for 10 minutes or microwaving for 10 seconds. Chop any optional add-ins.
- Lay out turkey slices on a cutting board or plate, overlapping them slightly to create a continuous surface. Use 3-4 slices per roll-up.
- Spread a thin, even layer (about 1/8-inch) of cream cheese over the turkey, leaving a small border around the edges. Add mustard if desired.
- Lay cheese strips and optional add-ins (like spinach or pickles) on top of the cream cheese. Sprinkle with black pepper and everything bagel seasoning.
- Starting from one short end, gently but firmly roll the turkey (or tortilla if using) into a log, tucking in the sides to keep it tight. Place seam side down.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the roll-ups into 1-inch pinwheels. Wipe the knife between cuts for clean slices. Serve immediately or wrap tightly for storage.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to prevent tearing the turkey. If the roll feels loose, use plastic wrap to help tighten it. Chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before slicing if not eating immediately to help them hold their shape. These do not freeze well due to the dairy texture.
