Ingredients

  • 3 unit large spinach tortillas
  • 0,75 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 unit garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 200 g smoked turkey breast slices
  • 150 g havarti cheese slices
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 0,5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0,25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, beat 3/4 cup (170 g) cream cheese with 1 tbsp lemon juice until smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Stir in the minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped chives, 1/2 tsp salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Lay the spinach tortillas flat on a clean work surface and spread each with a generous, even layer of the herbed cream cheese right to the edges.

  4. 4

    Layer the turkey slices in a single overlapping sheet across each tortilla, then top with havarti slices.

  5. 5

    Scatter the baby spinach leaves evenly, pressing gently so they adhere to the cream cheese.

  6. 6

    Starting from the edge closest to you, roll each tortilla tightly into a firm log, tucking as you go to avoid air pockets.

  7. 7

    Wrap each log snugly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the pinwheels set and slice cleanly.

  8. 8

    Using a sharp serrated knife, trim the ragged ends, then slice each log into 1-inch (2.5 cm) rounds.

  9. 9

    Arrange cut-side up in a snack box and serve chilled.

Chef's tip

Chill the rolled logs before slicing-this firms the cream cheese and keeps the spirals tight and photogenic instead of squishing under the knife.

Suggested pairing

Pack alongside crunchy sugar snap peas and a chilled sparkling apple water for a refreshing snack box.
