Description

Easy no-cook pinwheel sandwiches perfect for Memorial Day gatherings, featuring fresh veggies, creamy spreads, and deli meat rolled into bite-sized wraps.

Ingredients

Large flour tortillas (6-8 inch / 15-20 cm)
Cream cheese (8 oz / 225 g, softened)
Mayonnaise (2 tablespoons / 30 ml)
Fresh spinach leaves (1 cup / 30 g)
Shredded carrot (½ cup / 50 g)
Red bell pepper (1 medium, thinly sliced / about 150 g)
Deli turkey or ham slices (8 oz / 225 g)
Cheddar cheese (4 oz / 115 g, shredded)
Fresh herbs (2 tablespoons, chopped parsley or chives)
Salt and pepper (a pinch)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Add chopped fresh herbs, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Lay a tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread a generous, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface.
Layer the fillings starting with spinach leaves, then shredded carrots, thinly sliced red bell pepper, deli meat, and shredded cheddar cheese. Keep layers even but not too thick.
Roll the tortilla up tightly from one edge without squeezing out the fillings. Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper.
Chill the wrapped rolls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up the filling for cleaner slicing.
Remove from fridge, unwrap, and slice each roll into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife. Arrange on a platter and serve.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for easier spreading. Roll tortillas tightly but gently to avoid tearing. Chill pinwheels before slicing for clean cuts. Make ahead and chill up to 24 hours before serving. Optional Dijon mustard under cream cheese adds a subtle zing.
