Ingredients
- Large flour tortillas (8-inch size)
- Cooked turkey breast slices (about 8 ounces; deli-style or leftover roasted turkey)
- Ranch dressing (½ cup; homemade or store-bought)
- Cream cheese (4 ounces, softened)
- Shredded cheddar cheese (½ cup)
- Red bell pepper (1 small, thinly sliced)
- Green onions (2 stalks, thinly sliced)
- Fresh spinach or romaine lettuce (1 cup, chopped)
- Optional: crispy bacon bits (2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup ranch dressing with 4 ounces softened cream cheese. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Thinly slice the red bell pepper and green onions. Chop the spinach or romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Place each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the ranch-cream cheese mixture over the entire surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Evenly distribute the turkey slices over the spread. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, followed by the sliced bell pepper, green onions, and spinach or lettuce. Add crispy bacon bits if using.
- Starting from one edge, roll each tortilla into a tight log shape. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the wrapped pinwheels for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours, to allow flavors to meld and rolls to firm up.
- Remove from fridge, unwrap carefully, and slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese mixed with ranch dressing to keep tortillas moist but not soggy. Chill wrapped rolls for at least 1 hour to ensure clean slicing. Use a sharp serrated knife to slice pinwheels without squashing. Wraps keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days. For gluten-free, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps. Customize ranch dressing with fresh herbs or spices for flavor variations.
