Storage Instructions

Place leftover tortilla pinwheels in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. They’ll stay fresh for about 3-4 days.

I don’t recommend freezing them because the moisture from the fillings can make the tortilla soggy as it thaws.

Ham & Turkey Pinwheel Recipe Variations and Add-ins

Tortillas: We used regular tortillas to make our pinwheels, but you can use whole wheat tortillas or any other variety you like.

Ranch dressing: Replace the mayo in the cream cheese spread with a little ranch dressing for a tangy twist.

Red onion: Thinly sliced red onion adds a pop of color and a sharp oniony flavor.

Pickles: Diced pickles or pickle relish can add a little crunch and a delicious, tangy flavor.

Spinach: Replace the lettuce with fresh spinach leaves for added nutrients.

Sriracha or hot sauce: For a spicy kick, add a small amount of Sriracha or hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture.

Dijon mustard: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the tortillas before adding the cream cheese mixture. You can also use regular yellow mustard.

Roasted red peppers: Add a little smokiness to the cream cheese spread by including diced roasted red peppers.

Turkey and Ham Pinwheel FAQs

Can I make turkey and ham pinwheels without cream cheese?

Sure! Just keep in mind that the consistency will may vary based on what you use in it’s place. Greek yogurt or hummus are other great options to consider.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You bet! Pinwheels are a great make ahead finger food. Just roll them up and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap for up to a day or so in advance. Store the tortilla rolls in an airtight container until ready to slice and serve.

How can I prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy?

To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, be sure that you’re only adding a thin layer of the cream cheese and mayo mixture. If you’re making these in advance, you may want to drain some of the juice from the tomatoes before adding them to the roll-ups.
