Ingredients

Roll Up Ingredients

  • 2 10 inch whole grain tortillas (150g)
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened (70g)
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (60g)
  • 2 medium carrots, grated (115g)
  • 2 tbsp plain yogurt (40g)
  • 6 slices deli turkey meat (106g)
  • 1 cup spinach (40g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, grated carrots, and plain yogurt. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, consistent spread.
  2. Spread Filling onto Tortillas: Place half of the cream cheese filling onto the center of each tortilla. Using a knife or spatula, evenly spread the mixture across the tortilla surface, taking care to leave about a half-inch border around the edges free of filling to prevent spilling when rolling.
  3. Add Spinach and Turkey: Evenly distribute ½ cup of fresh spinach over the filling on each tortilla. Layer 3 slices of deli turkey meat atop the spinach on each one, ensuring even coverage for balanced flavor in every bite.
  4. Roll and Slice: Starting at one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape to keep the filling secure. Once rolled, slice each log into 6 bite-sized slices for easy serving and eating.
  5. Chill Before Serving (Optional): For best results, wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling step allows the cream cheese filling to firm up, helping the roll ups maintain their shape and making slicing cleaner. However, you can also serve immediately if desired.

Notes

  • Chilling the roll ups is optional but recommended for easier slicing and neater presentation.
  • You can substitute deli turkey with chicken or ham if preferred.
  • Use plain Greek yogurt for a thicker, tangier spread consistency.
  • Try adding a dash of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the cream cheese mixture for added flavor.
  • These roll ups make a great portable snack or lunch option.
