Ingredients

• 4 large whole grain tortillas
• 12 slices lean turkey breast slices
• 4 slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese slices
• 4 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 small cucumber
• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the baby spinach leaves, red bell pepper, and cucumber thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

Step 2

Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips, and slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin slices.

Step 3

Lay one whole grain tortilla flat on a clean surface.

Step 4

Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese evenly over the tortilla, reaching the edges to ensure even coverage.

Step 5

Add 1/2 teaspoon of dijon mustard over the cream cheese and spread it slightly to add a layer of flavor.

Step 6

Layer 3 slices of lean turkey breast evenly on top of the cream cheese spread.

Step 7

Place 1 slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top of the turkey.

Step 8

Arrange a handful of baby spinach leaves, red bell pepper strips, and cucumber slices evenly over the cheese.

Step 9

Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the vegetables for added flavor.

Step 10

Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly to form a log shape, ensuring the ingredients stay tucked inside.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients, creating four separate rolls.

Step 12

Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels.

Step 13

Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
