| 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
|
 |
|
| Directions: |
|
|
| 1. |
Let the cream cheese come to room temperature. Whip with a mixer, or by hand, to make it easier to spread.
|
| 2. |
Using a spatula or knife, spread about 1 tablespoon cream cheese on each tortilla, making sure to reach the edges.
|
| 3. |
Place 3 slices of meat on each tortilla.
|
| 4. |
Put several spinach leaves in the center of the tortilla and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of carrots.
|
| 5. |
Roll tortilla tightly; secure with a toothpick.
|
| 6. |
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.
