Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas (10-inch size works best for rolling)
- 8 oz sliced turkey breast (smoked turkey preferred)
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and drained
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 4 oz cheddar cheese, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the thick-cut bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels and let cool. Alternatively, bake bacon on a foil-lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes.
- Wash and dry the lettuce thoroughly, then shred into bite-sized pieces. Slice the tomato thinly, removing seeds if desired. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the mayo-mustard mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer 2 oz (about 4 slices) of turkey breast evenly over the spread. Add two bacon slices, then shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and finally a slice or two of cheddar cheese.
- Roll the tortilla tightly but gently to avoid tearing. Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- After chilling, unwrap and use a sharp knife to cut each roll crosswise into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Each tortilla should yield about 6–8 pinwheels.
- Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter or pack into lunchboxes. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Use thick-cut bacon for extra crunch and to prevent sogginess. Chill the rolled tortillas before slicing to help them hold their shape. Use a sharp knife to slice pinwheels cleanly. Pat lettuce and tomato dry to avoid soggy wraps. Mayonnaise can be swapped with Greek yogurt or dairy-free mayo for a lighter or dairy-free option. Gluten-free tortillas can be used to make this recipe gluten-free.
