Description
A fun and tasty recipe for pinwheel sandwiches that are perfect for parties or snacks.
Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken (or deli turkey)
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, such as dill or parsley)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer on a portion of the shredded chicken (or turkey), followed by a handful of baby spinach leaves, shredded carrots, and diced bell peppers.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Make sure to keep the filling inside as you roll.
- Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the pinwheel into 1-inch pieces. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with sliced cucumbers or roasted red peppers.
- Add a kick by incorporating sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the cream cheese mixture.
