Description

Hey there! Pull up a stool and grab an apron—today we’re making a snack that’s cozy, simple, and guaranteed to disappear fast: Ham & Turkey Pinwheels. Imagine all the flavors of your favorite deli sandwich—savory ham, lean turkey, creamy spread—rolled up into one bite-sized treat. Perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or a no-fuss snack.

Ingredients

Scale

16 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup honey mustard (or Dijon/whole grain mustard)
12 slices deli ham (black forest or honey ham recommended)
12 slices deli turkey (oven-roasted is best)
8 large flour tortillas (or spinach/tomato basil wraps)
1 cup baby spinach (optional)
4 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese (optional)
Optional: ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion or pickles

Instructions

1. Make the Spread

In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and honey mustard until smooth. Optional: add a pinch of garlic powder, dill, or black pepper for extra flavor.

2. Assemble the Pinwheels

Lay a tortilla flat. Spread ¼ cup of the cream cheese mixture evenly, leaving about ½ inch border on the far edge.

3. Layer the Ingredients

3 slices ham
3 slices turkey
Optional cheese slices
Optional spinach and red onion/pickles

Distribute ingredients evenly to make rolling easier.

4. Roll Tightly

Starting from the near edge, roll the tortilla away from you, tucking ingredients in. Place seam-side down. Repeat with all tortillas.

5. Chill

Wrap logs tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes (1–2 hours is ideal) to firm up the spread and make slicing clean.

6. Slice and Serve

Using a sharp serrated knife, cut logs into ½–1 inch pinwheels. Wipe the knife between cuts for neat spirals. Arrange on a platter and watch them disappear!

Notes

Soft Cream Cheese: Room temperature is key—cold cream cheese is hard to spread.
Prevent Sogginess: Pat meats and veggies dry before rolling. Skip high-water veggies if making ahead.
Tortilla Cracks: Let wraps sit at room temp, and avoid overfilling.
Make-Ahead: Assemble and wrap rolls up to 24 hours in advance; slice before serving.
Low-Carb Option: Use large lettuce leaves or low-carb tortillas.
