Description
Savory turkey cheddar lunch roll ups combine zesty deli meat with creamy cheese in a quick, satisfying midday meal. Rolled tortillas deliver convenient protein and flavor for busy individuals seeking a simple, delicious lunch option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices deli turkey
- 4 slices aged cheddar cheese
- 2 tortillas (standard-sized)
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese
- 1/4 cup lettuce (finely shredded)
- 1 green onion (sliced thinly)
- salt (fine, to taste)
- black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)
Instructions
- Whip the cream cheese with finely chopped green onions, seasoning with salt and pepper until smooth and well-integrated.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface and spread the cream cheese mixture edge to edge, creating a complete flavor foundation.
- Sprinkle shredded lettuce across the tortilla, maintaining an even layer for consistent texture.
- Arrange turkey slices and cheddar cheese on the left side of the tortilla, positioning them slightly away from the outer edge to facilitate easier rolling.
- Tightly roll the tortilla from one end, using additional cream cheese as a binding agent if needed to secure the wrap.
- Slice the rolled tortilla in half, then cut each section into five bite-sized pieces, discarding the uneven end pieces for a polished presentation.
- Serve immediately to preserve the crisp lettuce and maintain the roll’s structural integrity and fresh flavor profile.
Notes
- Customize the cream cheese blend by adding herbs like dill or chives for extra flavor complexity.
- Swap traditional tortillas with low-carb alternatives like lettuce wraps or gluten-free versions for dietary accommodations.
- Use cold ingredients and chill the rolled tortillas briefly to help them maintain structural integrity and prevent unraveling during slicing.
- Consider experimenting with different protein options like ham, chicken, or roast beef to provide variety and keep the dish interesting for repeated meals.
