Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
  • 8 slices deli turkey (oven-roasted or smoked)
  • 4 slices provolone or cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves, washed and dried

Instructions

  1. Make the Ranch Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and dried dill. Mix with a spatula until completely smooth and well combined.
  2. Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the four flour tortillas flat on your cutting board. If they are cold from the fridge, let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
  3. Spread the Filling: Using a butter knife or offset spatula, divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the four tortillas. Spread it in a thin, even layer, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Layer the Ingredients: Place 2 slices of turkey on each tortilla, slightly overlapping them. Then lay 1 slice of cheese on top of the turkey. Finally, add a handful of baby spinach leaves in a single layer.
  5. Roll Tightly: Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla up tightly, like a burrito. Use your fingers to tuck in the filling as you go. Place the roll seam-side down.
  6. Wrap and Chill: Take each rolled tortilla and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Twist the ends like a candy wrapper to secure it. Place the wrapped rolls on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Slice the Pinwheels: After chilling, unwrap the rolls and place them on your cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice each roll into 1-inch thick pieces using a gentle sawing motion.
  8. Serve or Store: Arrange the pinwheels on a platter or pack them directly into lunchboxes. They are ready to eat immediately or can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and ensure spinach is thoroughly dried. Chilling for at least 30 minutes is essential for clean slices. These freeze well for up to 3 months.
