Ingredients
- Large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
- 8 ounces deli sliced turkey breast (natural, nitrate-free recommended)
- 1/4 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade, chunky texture preferred)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
- A handful baby spinach leaves (about 1 ounce)
- Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- Optional add-ins: thinly sliced red onion, roasted red peppers, or a light smear of cream cheese
Instructions
- Lay out one large flour tortilla flat on a cutting board.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of basil pesto evenly over the tortilla, leaving about half an inch at the edges uncovered.
- Layer approximately 4 ounces of deli turkey evenly on top of the pesto.
- Evenly distribute 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the turkey. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach leaves.
- Sprinkle a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper across the layer.
- Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla into a tight log, pressing firmly but gently to keep the filling snug.
- Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly with plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels and arrange them on a plate or container for serving.
Notes
Use soft, pliable tortillas for easy rolling. Chill the rolled wraps before slicing to get clean pinwheels. A serrated knife or bread knife helps prevent squashing. Customize pesto texture by blotting excess oil if needed. Assemble and roll quickly to avoid soggy tortillas. Wraps keep well for up to 2 days refrigerated and can be frozen for 1-2 weeks.
