These pinwheel wraps combine crisp apple, sharp cheddar, and savory turkey in a soft tortilla for a quick, satisfying lunch or snack. They are easy to assemble, portable, and perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Large flour tortillas, about 10-inch diameter
  • 6 ounces deli sliced turkey breast, preferably low-sodium
  • 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, sliced thin or shredded
  • 1 medium crisp apple (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or cream cheese spread
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • A handful fresh spinach leaves (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the apple, cheddar cheese, and lay out the turkey slices. Wash and dry the spinach if using.
  2. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth.
  3. Place each tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
  4. Evenly spread a thin layer of the mayo-mustard mix over each tortilla, leaving about half an inch clear at the edges.
  5. Layer turkey slices evenly over the tortilla, then add sharp cheddar slices, followed by apple slices in a single layer. Add spinach leaves last if using. Season lightly with freshly cracked black pepper.
  6. Starting from one edge, roll each tortilla into a tight log to keep the pinwheels intact.
  7. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to help hold shape and meld flavors.
  8. Remove from fridge, unwrap, and slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a plate and serve.

Notes

Toss apple slices in lemon juice to prevent browning. Do not overstuff wraps to avoid tearing. Chill wraps before slicing for neat pinwheels. Use thin slices of apple and cheese for easier rolling. Variations include swapping turkey for ham, chicken, or plant-based deli slices; cheddar for gouda, Swiss, or pepper jack; and tortillas for gluten-free or whole wheat options.
