Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

8 oz. sliced turkey breast (deli style)

4 oz. cream cheese, softened

4 oz. shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup baby spinach leaves

1 medium carrot, grated

1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions
 

Prep the Cream Cheese Spread: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

    Assemble the Tortillas: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a quarter of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

      Layer the Fillings: Place 2 oz. of turkey slices on top of the cream cheese, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, a handful of baby spinach, grated carrot, and chopped red bell pepper.

        Roll Up the Pinwheels: Starting from the edge nearest you, roll the tortilla tightly away from you, tucking in the fillings as you go to ensure a tight wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

          Slice and Serve: Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice each tortilla into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter, and serve with ranch dressing on the side for dipping if desired.

            Storing Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days for a quick snack or lunch option!
