Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large whole grain tortillas
- 12 slices lean turkey breast slices
- 4 slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 4 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small cucumber
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing the baby spinach leaves, red bell pepper, and cucumber thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips, and slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin slices.
Lay one whole grain tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese evenly over the tortilla, reaching the edges to ensure even coverage.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of dijon mustard over the cream cheese and spread it slightly to add a layer of flavor.
Layer 3 slices of lean turkey breast evenly on top of the cream cheese spread.
Place 1 slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top of the turkey.
Arrange a handful of baby spinach leaves, red bell pepper strips, and cucumber slices evenly over the cheese.
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the vegetables for added flavor.
Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly to form a log shape, ensuring the ingredients stay tucked inside.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients, creating four separate rolls.
Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
