One of the best parts about this recipe? The wow factor. The combination of red and yellow bell peppers, carrots, purple cabbage, and spinach makes each slice pop with color. They’re eye-catching on a party platter and perfect for picky eaters who might just be tempted to eat the rainbow. You could easily serve these alongside my turkey club sliders, veggie hummus cups, or even easy pasta salad with Italian dressing for a no-stress, crowd-pleasing spread.

They’re also super customizable—swap the turkey for ham, use flavored wraps like spinach or sun-dried tomato, or add a touch of ranch or hummus to the cream cheese for an extra kick. These are the kinds of sandwiches that make lunch anything but boring.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use room temp cream cheese – It spreads easier and won’t tear the tortilla.
  • Don’t overstuff – A little goes a long way to keep the wrap from bursting open.
  • Tightly roll – Roll slowly and firmly for the best pinwheel shape.
  • Chill before slicing – If you have time, pop them in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to firm up for cleaner cuts.
  • Use a sharp serrated knife – This helps slice through the layers cleanly without squishing.

FAQs

Yes! You can make them the night before and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Just wait to slice until closer to serving for the freshest look.

Large burrito-sized tortillas are ideal. You can use regular flour, whole wheat, spinach, or tomato wraps for extra color and flavor.

Absolutely—thin cucumber slices, shredded lettuce, avocado, or even roasted red peppers work great too.

Ham, chicken, roast beef, or even a vegetarian version with hummus and extra veggies all work well.
