Ingredients
  

  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup prepared basil pesto
  • 1/2 lb thinly sliced deli turkey
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes optional

Instructions
 

  • Make the spread. Stir the softened cream cheese and pesto together in a bowl until smooth and evenly combined.
  • Spread the tortillas. Divide the pesto cream cheese among the 4 tortillas and spread edge to edge.
  • Layer the filling. Top each tortilla with turkey, spinach, shredded cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
  • Roll tightly. Starting from the bottom, roll each tortilla into a tight log.
  • Chill. Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, up to overnight, to help them set.
  • Slice and serve. Trim the ends, then slice each log into 1-inch turkey pesto pinwheels, about 6-7 per tortilla.

Notes

Store rolled, unsliced turkey pesto pinwheel logs tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 3 days. Slice just before packing or serving for the cleanest cut.
