Ingredients

  • 3 tortillas large, about 10 inches/ 25 cm
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 5 leaves basil large
  • 2 tablespoons green onions chopped
  • 8 leaves lettuce more if necessary to cover
  • 5 slices pepperoni or as required
  • 5 slices deli turkey or as required

Instructions

  • Spread: mix cream cheese with grated Parmesan, grated garlic, finely sliced green onions, finely sliced basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Build: Lay the tortillas on the working surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving about ½ inch (1 cm) free all around. Top with lettuce leaves, deli turkey, pepperoni, slightly overlapping each layer of ingredients.
  • Roll up tightly. Wrap well in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or longer.
  • Cut: Remove the plastic wrap. Secure the roll-ups with toothpicks or wooden picks (Note). Use a good knife to slice the roll in between the picks. Arrange on a platter.

Notes

Use as many picks as necessary; it depends on the desired thickness of the pinwheels. I cut 7 pieces out of each tortilla, so I had 21 in the end.
