Equipment
Ingredients
Cucumber Dill Cream Cheese Spread
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup cucumber finely grated, measured before squeezing
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives finely chopped or green onion
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinwheels
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 12 ounces deli turkey thinly sliced
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups baby spinach leaves
Instructions
- Grate the cucumber using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and squeeze very well to remove as much liquid as possible.
- Place the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl and mix until smooth.
- Add the squeezed cucumber, dill, chives, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Lay the flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide the cucumber dill cream cheese mixture evenly among the four tortillas and spread almost to the edges.
- Top each tortilla with a thin layer of baby spinach, approximately 3 ounces of turkey, and 2 slices of provolone.
- Starting at one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log.
- Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Unwrap the chilled rolls and trim the uneven ends. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into approximately 3/4-inch slices.
- Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled.
Notes
When it comes to the nutrition information provided for recipes, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s just an estimate. The actual nutritional values can vary based on the specific ingredients and brands you use. Be mindful that any nutritional information provided is intended as a general guideline rather than exact values.
Notes
- Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the cucumber to prevent soggy tortillas.
- Use block-style cream cheese rather than whipped or spreadable cream cheese for a thicker filling.
- Fresh dill gives the best flavor, but approximately 1 teaspoon dried dill can be substituted.
- Don't overfill the tortillas or they'll be difficult to roll tightly.
- For clean slices, thoroughly chill the rolls before cutting them.
- The Dijon mustard can be omitted if desired.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
