Pinwheel Sandwiches

These are fun and easy, and customizable like any sandwich. If you have a picky eater, this is a great solution because you can put almost anything they want on it (and sneak in what they need). We also found that they make great picnic foods because they stay together pretty well, unlike other sandwiches, and you can make them in advance and wrap them in foil. I’ll share the version we made.

Pinwheel Sandwiches
Serves 2 adults and 3 kids as far as I can tell
Total time 20-25 minutes
Prep time 20-25 minutes

Ingredients:

2 large tortillas
4 leaves romaine lettuce
10 slices American cheese
1 box cream cheese
Turkey
Cajun seasoning (to taste)
Garlic (to taste)

Instructions:

Combine cream cheese, Cajun seasoning and garlic in medium mixing bowl. This will require mashing with a fork for several minutes, but will soften the cream cheese and warm it up for the next step.
spread cream cheese evenly on one entire surface of each tortilla.
Layer cheese, lettuce, and turkey evenly on each tortilla. This will probably require creative cheese shaping. IMPORTANT: Leave cream cheese exposed on the edge of the tortilla that will be on the outside when you roll it up.
Roll the tortilla. If the end edge has no exposed cream cheese, cut away some of the other ingredients until it does. The cream cheese will seal the wrap.
Now cut slices of the wrap to expose the spiraled colors.
Serve.

Remember, this one can be manipulated to your liking. Season your cream cheese however you prefer; use ham or chicken or beef if you so choose. I’ve seen some with diced tomatoes, peppers and onions or hummus. This is less a recipe and more an idea.
