Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large flour tortillas 10-inch burrito size recommended
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise full-fat preferred
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 lb sliced deli turkey medium-thin sliced
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese sharp cheddar recommended
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves stems removed, patted completely dry
  • 0.5 cup shredded carrots pre-shredded works well
  • 0.5 cup red bell pepper sliced into thin strips

Equipment

  • Large cutting board or clean flat surface
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Butter knife or spreading spatula
  • Plastic wrap
  • Serrated knife

Method
 

  1. Lay all 8 flour tortillas flat on a clean, dry surface at room temperature.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until fully combined into a smooth, creamy spread.
  3. Spread a thin, even layer of the mayo-Dijon mixture over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  4. Layer 2 to 3 slices of deli turkey over the bottom two-thirds of each tortilla, overlapping slightly. Place one slice of cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Scatter spinach leaves in a single layer over the cheese, then distribute shredded carrots and red bell pepper strips evenly across each tortilla.
  6. Starting from the filled end, roll each tortilla up firmly and tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
  7. Wrap each roll-up snugly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and hold shape.
  8. Unwrap and slice each roll-up diagonally in half with a serrated knife. Serve immediately or pack in a lunchbox.

Notes

Store wrapped roll-ups in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, slice fresh just before serving. Swap turkey for ham or roast beef, or try pepper jack cheese for a spicy twist. Patting spinach leaves completely dry before assembling is the best way to prevent soggy tortillas.
