These bite-sized turkey and cheese roll-ups are quick, easy, and perfect for lunchboxes. They offer a satisfying combination of savory flavors and are great for portion control and busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8–10 thin slices deli turkey (nitrate-free if possible)
  • 8–10 slices cheese (sharp cheddar or Swiss recommended)
  • Small flour tortillas or wraps, about 6-inch diameter (whole wheat optional)
  • 2–3 tablespoons mayonnaise or mustard (Dijon mustard adds a nice kick)
  • Optional: baby spinach or arugula leaves
  • Optional: thinly sliced pickles or cucumbers

Instructions

  1. Lay out the small flour tortillas flat on a clean surface.
  2. Spread about 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise or mustard evenly on each tortilla.
  3. Lay one or two thin slices of deli turkey evenly over the spread, leaving a small edge free for rolling.
  4. Place one slice of cheese on top of the turkey; cut to fit if necessary.
  5. Add optional ingredients like baby spinach leaves or thin cucumber slices lightly.
  6. Roll the tortilla tightly but gently from one edge, ensuring all ingredients stay inside.
  7. Wrap the rolls in parchment paper or a clean kitchen towel and chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
  8. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1 to 1.5-inch mini roll-ups with a gentle sawing motion.
  9. Place the mini roll-ups in an airtight container or lunchbox and add a small ice pack if packing early.

Notes

Warm tortillas slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds if they feel dry or brittle to increase pliability. Avoid overfilling to prevent tearing. Chill roll-ups before slicing to keep shape and prevent mess. Prepare night before for busy mornings. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 2 days. Best served chilled or at room temperature.
