Perfectly chilled to enhance flavors and texture, they offer a convenient and satisfying option for any time of day.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Spread and Filling

  • 2 10-inch whole grain tortillas (150g)
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened (70g)
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (60g)
  • 2 medium carrots, grated (115g)
  • 2 tbsp plain yogurt (40g)

Toppings

  • 6 slices deli turkey meat (106g)
  • 1 cup spinach (40g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spread: 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 thoroughly until a smooth, creamy spread forms.
  2. Apply the Filling: Lay each whole grain tortilla flat and evenly distribute half of the cream cheese spread onto the center of each tortilla. Use a knife or spatula to gently spread the filling, leaving about an inch of space around the edges clear of toppings to facilitate rolling.
  3. Add Toppings: Top each tortilla spread with ½ cup of fresh spinach followed by 3 slices of deli turkey meat, evenly layered over the filling.
  4. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, ensuring the filling stays inside. Once rolled, slice each tortilla roll into 6 equal pieces to create bite-sized roll ups.
  5. Chill for Best Results: For optimal texture and ease of eating, wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling step helps the cream cheese spread firm up and keeps the roll ups intact. This step is optional if you prefer to eat immediately.

Notes

  • Chilling the roll ups before slicing makes them easier to cut and helps maintain their shape.
  • Feel free to substitute the deli turkey with smoked turkey or chicken for variation.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace turkey with more spinach or roasted vegetables.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt for a tangier flavor and added protein.
  • These roll ups can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
