Description
Easy, no-cook Turkey Cheddar Lunch Roll Ups made with soft tortillas, deli turkey, sharp cheddar, crisp veggies, and a creamy spread—perfect for meal prep, school lunches, or party pinwheels.
Ingredients
4 large tortilla wraps (whole wheat, flour, or spinach)
8 thin slices deli turkey (oven-roasted, smoked, or honey)
4 slices cheddar cheese (or 3/4 cup shredded)
1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
1/2 cup thinly sliced bell peppers
1/4 cup cream cheese or hummus, softened
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional add-ins: thinly sliced cucumber, olives, shredded carrots, or thin apple slices
Instructions
1. Lay out tortillas, turkey, cheese, veggies, and spread on a clean work surface. Warm tortillas 10–15 seconds if stiff.
2. Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese or hummus over each tortilla, going right to the edges.
3. Layer 2 slices of turkey across each tortilla, slightly overlapping for even coverage.
4. Place 1 slice cheddar (or sprinkle shredded cheddar) centered over the turkey.
5. Add a handful of spinach or mixed greens and scatter bell peppers evenly.
6. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
7. Starting from one edge, roll each tortilla up tightly, tucking the filling as you go so it’s compact.
8. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice into 1–2 inch pinwheels, turning the roll as needed for clean cuts.
9. Arrange cut-side up on a platter and serve immediately, or pack into containers for lunches.
10. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients until all roll ups are made.
Notes
For the cleanest slices, chill the rolled tortillas 10–15 minutes before cutting.
Make it your way: swap cheddar for provolone or Swiss; add a swipe of mustard, pesto, or ranch under the cheese.
Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as needed.
Meal prep: Store in an airtight container up to 2–3 days; place a paper towel in the container to absorb moisture.
Party tip: Insert toothpicks in the center of each pinwheel for easy serving.
