| Ingredients: |  |
| |
 |
4
whole wheat tortillas, 8-inch size |
|
1/4
cup cream cheese, low fat, fat-free or regular |
|
12
slices lean turkey (smoked, turkey-ham) |
|
8-12
spinach leaves, washed and dried |
|
|
| Directions: |
| |
| 1. |
Let the
cream cheese come to room temperature. Whip with a mixer, or by hand, to make
it easier to spread. |
| 2. |
Using a
spatula or knife, spread about 1 tablespoon cream cheese on each tortilla, making
sure to reach the edges. |
| 3. |
Place 3
slices of meat on each tortilla. |
| 4. |
Put several
spinach leaves in the center of the tortilla and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of
carrots. |
| 5. |
Roll tortilla
tightly; secure with a toothpick. |
| 6. |
Cut the
tortilla into pinwheels by cutting it in half first, then making bite-sized slices
along the tortilla until you reach the end. Lay each piece cut-side down on a
serving plate.
|
| Variations: |
| |
 |
Choose colorful
vegetables such as red peppers, cucumber, or avocado in your pinwheel. |
|
Make a fruit
pinwheel using peanut butter or jam as the spread, then top with thin banana slices
and other soft fruit like peaches, plums, nectarines or strawberries. |
