Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

8 ounces sliced turkey breast

8 ounces sliced cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite)

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Fresh herbs (like dill or parsley) for added flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean cutting board. Spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.

    Layer the Ingredients: On top of the cream cheese, layer 2 ounces of sliced turkey, followed by 2 ounces of cheese. Add a handful of fresh spinach leaves, a few slices of cucumber, and a couple of slices of roasted red peppers. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. If you're using herbs, sprinkle some over the top.

      Roll It Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly to form a log. Make sure to keep the fillings centered as you roll. Once rolled, use your hands to gently press the roll to ensure it holds together.

        Slice the Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels. You should get about 8-10 pinwheels from each tortilla. Arrange them on a platter or pack them directly into your lunchboxes.

          Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients until everything is used up.

            Packaging: If making these for lunchboxes, you can place the pinwheels in airtight containers, separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
