Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole Grain Tortillas (or gluten-free tortillas)
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese (or dairy-free cream cheese)
- 12 slices Deli Turkey Meat (or grilled chicken or ham)
- 2 cups Spinach (or other leafy greens)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (can be omitted)
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (can be skipped)
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (season to taste)
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (or dairy-free cheddar)
- 1 cup Grated Carrots (or shredded bell peppers)
- 1 cup Plain Yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
Instructions
- Prepare the Creamy Spread: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cheddar cheese, grated carrots, and plain yogurt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes a smooth and creamy spread with all ingredients well incorporated.
- Spread the Tortillas: Lay a whole grain tortilla flat and evenly spread half of the prepared cream cheese mixture across the center of the tortilla, leaving some space around the edges to make rolling easier and neater.
- Add Filling: Place ½ cup of fresh spinach leaves evenly over the cream cheese spread, then add 3 slices of deli turkey on top. You can include additional fillings if desired for extra flavor or texture.
- Roll the Tortillas: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla around the fillings, applying gentle pressure to keep a snug wrap and prevent the ingredients from falling out.
- Slice into Portions: Slice the rolled tortilla into 6 equal pieces, creating bite-sized roll ups perfect for serving or snacking.
- Chill for Best Texture: Wrap each individual roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling step allows the filling to set, enhancing the texture and making them easier to handle and enjoy.
Notes
- You can substitute deli turkey with grilled chicken, ham, or your favorite deli meat for variety.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese, cheddar, and yogurt alternatives.
- If you want to omit garlic or onion powder, feel free, but these add nice flavor depth.
- Adding shredded bell peppers instead of carrots can give a sweeter crunch and different color.
- Wraps can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for convenience.
