Ingredients
Scale
Spread Mixture
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Roll-Ups
- 8 slices deli turkey breast
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 4 large flour tortillas (or low-carb wraps, gluten-free if preferred)
Instructions
- Prepare the Spread: In a small bowl, mix together the mashed avocado, softened cream cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well combined for balanced flavor.
- Layer the Tortillas: Lay out the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous and even layer of the avocado and cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, covering the entire surface to provide moisture and flavor in each bite.
- Add Turkey and Vegetables: Place 2 slices of deli turkey breast evenly on top of the spread on each tortilla. Then sprinkle with the chopped fresh spinach and shredded carrots to add crunch and freshness.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly into a log shape, making sure the filling stays inside. Once all tortillas are rolled, slice each log into 1-inch pieces to create bite-sized pinwheels that are easy to serve and eat.
- Serve or Store: Serve the roll-ups immediately for the freshest taste, or wrap them tightly and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve, making them convenient for meal prep or snacks on-the-go.

- Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for best quality.
