# Cooking steps:

01 - Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, shredded cheddar, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and thoroughly blended.
02 - Lay one tortilla flat on a cutting board. Evenly spread a quarter of the cheese mixture across the entire surface.
03 - Layer approximately 1.75 ounces of sliced turkey breast over the cheese spread.
04 - Scatter about 0.5 ounces of baby spinach leaves evenly atop the turkey slices.
05 - Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a log.

07 - Wrap each rolled tortilla log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

# Expert advice:

01 -
  • These pinwheels are as effortless as they are irresistible—perfect for when you need something reliable and speedy.
  • The creamy, savory filling with crisp spinach offers just enough freshness to keep everyone reaching for seconds.
02 -
  • If you skip chilling, the pinwheels fall apart when you slice them—I learned this by rushing once and regretting it.
  • Switching to whole wheat tortillas for a party added a nutty flavor that almost stole the show; don’t hesitate to try swaps.
03 -
  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for the smoothest spreading—cold cheese always makes lumps.
  • Wrap tightly and chill before slicing; this step alone makes your pinwheels look and taste so much better.
