Description

These Turkey and Cheese Roll Ups are a no-cook lunch meal prep option made with whole grain tortillas, deli turkey, spinach, and a creamy cheddar-carrot spread. Chilling the rolled tortillas before slicing helps them hold together and gives cleaner pieces.


Ingredients

  • 2 whole grain 10-inch tortillas
  • 1/4 cup softened cream cheese
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Onion powder, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 medium carrots, grated
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 6 slices deli turkey meat
  • 1 cup spinach


Instructions

  • 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 until a smooth, spreadable filling forms.
  • Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface.
  • Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the center of each tortilla, leaving the edges clear.
  • Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup spinach and 3 slices of deli turkey.
  • Roll each tortilla tightly.
  • For cleaner slices, wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • If serving immediately, chilling is optional.
  • Slice each rolled tortilla into 6 pieces.
  • Serve cold.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese so the spread mixes smoothly.
  • Grated carrots fold into the spread better than larger carrot pieces.
  • Leaving the tortilla edges clear helps prevent the filling from pushing out while rolling.
  • Roll the tortillas tightly so they hold their shape.
  • Chilling helps the cream cheese firm up and makes the roll ups easier to slice cleanly.
  • Keep the roll ups wrapped tightly until ready to slice or serve.

Storage

Store tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Keep the roll ups wrapped until ready to slice or serve so they hold their shape and stay fresher.
