Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large flour tortilla (8-inch or 10-inch)
- 4–5 slices deli turkey (oven-roasted or honey turkey recommended)
- 1–2 tablespoons sunflower seed butter (sunbutter)
- 1–2 tablespoons cream cheese (optional, dairy-free if needed)
- Handful fresh spinach leaves
- Handful shredded carrots
- Apple slices or grapes (for sides)
- 1 cheese stick or cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Lay one tortilla flat on a cutting board. If stiff or cold, microwave for 10-15 seconds until pliable.
- Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese (if using) over the entire tortilla, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
- Spread a thin layer of sunbutter over the cream cheese (about 1-2 tablespoons). If sunbutter is thick, microwave for 10 seconds first.
- Place 4-5 slices of deli turkey evenly over the sunbutter layer, overlapping slightly.
- Sprinkle a handful of fresh spinach leaves and shredded carrots over the turkey, spreading evenly without overloading.
- Starting at one edge, roll the tortilla up tightly, tucking in the filling as you go. Keep it snug but not too tight.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch rounds (about 5-6 pinwheels).
- Arrange the pinwheels in one compartment of a bento box. Add apple slices, grapes, cheese stick, or other sides in the remaining compartments. Add an ice pack if packing for later.
Notes
Warm the tortilla to prevent cracking. Store whole roll-ups (unsliced) wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge overnight for best texture. Slice in the morning before packing. Pat spinach dry to avoid sogginess. Sunbutter can be microwaved for 10 seconds if too thick.
