Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 4 oz turkey slices (about 12 pieces)
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  • Spread 2 ounces of cream cheese evenly over each tortilla using a butter knife. Sprinkle the chopped pecans and dried cranberries on top, then layer the turkey slices. (Tip: Don’t overcrowd; this ensures a tight roll and clean slices.)
  • Starting at one end, roll the tortilla tightly into a log. Press gently as you roll to keep everything in place.
  • Wrap each tortilla roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This step is crucial—it firms up the rolls, making them easier to slice and serve.
  • When you’re ready to serve, unwrap the tortilla rolls and trim about 2 inches off each end (feel free to snack on these scraps!). Slice the remaining roll into 1-inch pieces—each tortilla will yield six pinwheels.
  • Arrange them flat on a platter, and you’re good to go!
