Equipment

  • bowl
  • spatula
  • sharp knife

Ingredients
  

  • 5 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 2 teaspoons fresh chives chopped
  • 2 teaspoons minced jalapeños optional
  • 3-4 large 8-inch burrito size tortillas
  • romaine lettuce leaves
  • ½ pound sliced deli turkey

Instructions
 

  • Mash the softened cream cheese until pliable, then mix in the cheddar cheese, cranberries, chives, and jalapeños.
  • Spread one-third of the mixture on a tortilla, layer with lettuce and turkey, then roll tightly and seal with cream cheese.
  • Cut the rolled tortilla into pinwheels and arrange on a platter, discarding empty outer edges.
  • Wrap pinwheels in plastic wrap if preparing in advance to keep them fresh.

Notes

Ensure the lettuce is dry after washing to prevent sogginess. Prepare pinwheels a few days in advance for optimal freshness.
