Turkey and Cheese Pinwheels

I've seen these on sale at the grocery store before, and figured it would be fairly easy (and cheap) to make them myself.  They are great for appetizers- mix it up with different meats and veggies if you prefer.



Ingredients:
1 package large tortilla wraps (I used spinach flavored)
1 package cream cheese
Garlic powder (optional)
1 lb sliced turkey
1 bunch green lettuce, shredded
2 large tomatoes, diced

Directions:

1. Take one wrap and lay it on a clean, flat surface like a cutting board. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over the top. Sprinkle garlic powder over cheese if desired.
2. Layer a few slices of turkey on top of the cheese, leaving a half inch border along the edge of the wrap with just cream cheese. Add a layer of lettuce, then tomato.
3. Tightly roll the wrap up from one edge, making a “roll-up” with all the ingredients trapped inside. Press the edge so the cream cheese can seal it together.
4. Wrap the “roll-up” in plastic wrap and store in the fridge until ready to serve. Repeat these above steps with the remaining wraps and ingredients. Ten minutes before serving, slice the rolls into one inch thick pinwheels. Use toothpicks to hold them together if needed.
