Print Recipe

A fast, reliable, and delicious party snack made with deli turkey, cheese, and cream cheese wrapped in tortillas. Perfect for last-minute hosting or quick cravings.

Ingredients

  • Deli turkey slices (high-quality, low sodium preferred)
  • Cheese slices (Cheddar, Pepper Jack, Swiss, or Provolone)
  • Large flour tortillas (or gluten-free alternatives)
  • Cream cheese (full-fat, softened)
  • Optional: Spinach leaves
  • Optional: Cucumber ribbons
  • Optional: Sliced avocado
  • Optional: Dijon mustard or mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Take turkey, cheese, and cream cheese out of the fridge. Let cream cheese soften slightly for easier spreading.
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry any fresh vegetables (like spinach or cucumber) to prevent sogginess.
  3. Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a cutting board.
  4. Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Layer cheese slices over the cream cheese, then layer turkey slices on top, overlapping slightly for full coverage.
  6. Add optional ingredients like spinach or cucumber if desired.
  7. Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla up, guiding with fingers to keep it tight but not bursting.
  8. Press the seam gently to seal. If making ahead, chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
  9. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll-ups into 1-inch pieces.
  10. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until serving.

Notes

For best results, use a sharp knife to slice cleanly without crushing the roll-ups. Chilling the roll-ups before slicing helps them hold their shape. If adding wet ingredients like tomatoes or cucumbers, pat them dry thoroughly or add just before serving to prevent sogginess. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
