4-Ingredient Ham & Cheese Pinwheels
These super easy ham & cheese pinwheels are a lunchbox classic made with just 4 ingredients and ready in 10 minutes without any cooking required! Perfect for school lunchboxes, work lunches, or even as a party appetizer.
Ingredients
- 3 tortillas (8-inch)
- 6 tbsp chive & onion cream cheese
- 6 slices deli ham
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
- Spread 2 tbsp of chive & onion cream cheese evenly over each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch clear from the edges.
- Layer 2 slices of deli ham over the cream cheese on each tortilla. They should cover the width of the tortilla and overlap at the center.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the tortillas.
- Starting at the bottom edge, roll the tortilla upwards towards the top edge. Make sure to roll it up tightly and tuck in the fillings as you go.
- Slice into 5 bite-sized pinwheels. Cut in the center first, then cut on the sides.
- Serve and enjoy! You can also put the pinwheels in a lunchbox and stick it in the fridge for lunch the next day.
Notes
- Use fresh tortillas - I recommend using tortillas that are fresh and stored at room temperature. I made the mistake of refrigerating my open bag of tortillas and they dried out, became brittle, and did not roll up well.
- Having a hard time cutting the pinwheels? Wrap the rolled-up tortilla in plastic wrap, then refrigerate for 20 minutes before slicing into pieces. This will make them easier to cut.
- Make it for meal prep! These roll-ups are great for meal prep! Make them the night before and store it inside an air-tight lunchbox or bento box for the next day
