Tortilla Pinwheels
(makes 4 servings) |
Ingredients:
- 4 whole wheat tortillas, 8-inch size
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, low fat, fat-free or regular
- 12 slices lean turkey (smoked, turkey-ham)
- 8-12 spinach leaves, washed and dried
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
Directions:
- Let the cream cheese come to room temperature. Whip with a mixer, or by hand, to make it easier to spread.
- Using a spatula or knife, spread about 1 tablespoon cream cheese on each tortilla, making sure to reach the edges.
- Place 3 slices of meat on each tortilla.
- Put several spinach leaves in the center of the tortilla and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of carrots.
- Roll tortilla tightly; secure with a toothpick.
- Cut the tortilla into pinwheels by cutting it in half first, then making bite-sized slices along the tortilla until you reach the end. Lay each piece cut-side down on a serving plate.
Variations:
- Choose colorful vegetables such as red peppers, cucumber, or avocado in your pinwheel.
- Make a fruit pinwheel using peanut butter or jam as the spread, then top with thin banana slices and other soft fruit like peaches, plums, nectarines or strawberries.
