Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 8 slices deli meat (such as turkey, ham, or roast beef)
  • 1 cup fresh lettuce leaves, washed and dried

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface to prepare for spreading the filling evenly.
  2. Spread Cream Cheese: Using a butter knife or spatula, spread a generous and even layer of softened cream cheese over the entire surface of each tortilla. This adds creaminess and helps hold the layers together.
  3. Layer the Deli Meat and Lettuce: Place the deli meat slices evenly over the cream cheese layer, then top with fresh lettuce leaves to add crispness and color to the pinwheels.
  4. Roll the Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other to form a compact log. This helps create neat slices for serving.
  5. Chill Before Slicing: Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to firm up. Chilling makes clean slicing easier and maintains the pinwheel shape.
  6. Slice into Pinwheels: Remove the rolls from the fridge and use a sharp knife to cut each into 1-inch thick pinwheel slices.
  7. Serve: Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve cold or at room temperature as a delightful finger food at your New Year party.

Notes

  • For additional flavor, consider adding herbs like dill or chives to the cream cheese before spreading.
  • Use different deli meats or add sliced vegetables like bell peppers or cucumbers for variety.
  • To make it gluten-free, substitute tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
  • Keep the pinwheels refrigerated until just before serving to maintain freshness.
