Ingredients
Scale
- 5–6 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 8–10 slices deli turkey breast
- 8–10 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and ranch seasoning. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
- Lay one tortilla on a clean cutting board. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the entire surface of the tortilla, going all the way to the edges.
- Place 2-3 slices of turkey on the lower third of the tortilla, overlapping them slightly in a single layer.
- Place 1-2 slices of provolone on top of the turkey, again in a single layer.
- Starting from the bottom edge, roll the tortilla away from you as tightly as you can without tearing it. Use your fingers to tuck and tighten as you go. Press down gently to seal the seam.
- Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down on a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper. Roll it up tightly, twisting the ends like a candy wrapper.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas until all filling is used up.
- Place all wrapped roll-ups in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag or container. If stacking, separate layers with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 months.
- When ready to eat, remove one roll-up from the freezer. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight, or at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Unwrap and slice into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife.
Notes
Room temperature cream cheese is non-negotiable for easy spreading. Roll tight to prevent falling apart. For longer freezer storage, double-wrap each roll-up in plastic wrap then aluminum foil. Slice before freezing for grab-and-go convenience.
