Prep Time: 10

Servings: Pinwheels

1 (8 inch) whole wheat tortilla
3 tablespoons of flavored cream cheese, garden vegetable and chive flavors are my favorite.
4 big leaves of lettuce
1-2 slices of deli turkey
2 tablespoons of shredded or matchstick carrots
2-3 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
8 red pepper strips, sliced very thin

Place the tortilla on a cutting board and spread the cream cheese evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edge of the tortilla.
Arrange the lettuce leaves in a single layer over the cream cheese. Try not to overlap too much, or the rollup will be too bulky.
Place the turkey slices on top of the lettuce in a flat, even layer. Trim them if necessary to cover the tortilla and don't overlap the slices.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese and carrots over the turkey. Add the pepper strips across the top in an even layer.
Starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla up tightly into a log. Gently press the log to help it hold it's shape and place seam-side down.
Trim the ends, then slice the log into 4 pinwheels. If you want them smaller, you can slice the log into 1" pieces and giving you six snack sized pinwheels instead.
Store any uneaten rollups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
