Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 8 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized, about 10 inches)
  • 1 pound thinly sliced turkey breast (deli-style)
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the ranch cream cheese spread: In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, pickle juice, and milk. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. The mixture should be smooth and spreadable—if it’s too thick, add another teaspoon of milk.
  2. Prepare your workspace: Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on your counter. Place one tortilla on top of the plastic wrap.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture: Using a rubber spatula or butter knife, spread about 2 tablespoons of the ranch cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla. Leave a 1-inch border around the edges so the filling doesn’t squish out when you roll.
  4. Layer the fillings: Place 2-3 slices of turkey on the lower third of the tortilla, overlapping slightly. Top with one slice of provolone cheese, tearing it in half if needed to fit. Sprinkle a small handful of shredded lettuce and a few slices of red bell pepper over the cheese. Don’t overfill.
  5. Roll it up tight: Starting from the bottom edge, roll the tortilla away from you, keeping it as tight as possible without tearing. Use your fingers to tuck the filling in as you go. When you reach the top edge, press gently to seal the seam.
  6. Wrap and chill: Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in the plastic wrap. Twist the ends to secure. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Place all wrapped rolls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
  7. Slice and serve: Unwrap each roll and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Use a gentle sawing motion rather than pressing down. Arrange on a plate or pack in lunchboxes immediately.

Notes

Chilling is crucial for clean slices. Use a serrated knife for best results. Don’t overfill. Warm tortillas slightly if they crack. Can be assembled up to 24 hours ahead. Store sliced pinwheels in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze unsliced rolls for up to 2 months.
