|---|---|
| 8 oz | Softened cream cheese |
| 1/4 cup | Sour cream |
| 1 tsp | Garlic powder |
| 1/2 tsp | Dried dill |
| 4 large | Flour tortillas (10-inch) |

How to Make Turkey and Cheddar Tortilla Pinwheels
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and dried dill until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface of each tortilla, leaving a small 1/4-inch border at the edges.
Place a single layer of smoked turkey slices over the cream cheese spread. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and chopped red bell peppers evenly over the turkey.
Top with a thin layer of baby spinach leaves, pressing them down slightly into the cream cheese to secure them.
Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Wrap each log firmly in plastic wrap.
Place the wrapped logs in the refrigerator for at least 30-60 minutes to allow the filling to set, which ensures clean slices.
Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap. Use a sharp serrated knife to cut off the uneven ends, then slice the logs into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately.
