Quick and easy turkey and cheese pinwheels paired with a creamy homemade ranch dip, perfect for snacks, light meals, or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • 8 oz deli turkey slices (225 g)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100 g)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (about 30 g) – optional
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (120 ml)
  • 1/4 cup milk (60 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives or green onions
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the creamy ranch dip: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives or green onions. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness by adding more milk if needed. Set aside in the fridge.
  2. Lay out one 8-inch flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Optionally soften in the microwave for 10 seconds to make rolling easier.
  3. Arrange 4 oz (about half the pack) of deli turkey slices evenly over the tortilla, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the turkey.
  5. Scatter fresh spinach leaves over the cheese layer if using.
  6. Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a log shape, pressing gently to keep it compact but not squished. Repeat with the second tortilla and remaining ingredients.
  7. Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick slices to make about 8 pinwheels per roll.
  8. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter with the creamy ranch dip in the center. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours if making ahead.

Notes

Warm tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking. Use a serrated knife for clean slices. Keep ranch dip separate until serving to avoid sogginess. Pinwheels can be served chilled or at room temperature. For a warm version, broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts.
