Delicious and easy-to-make Pinwheel Sandwiches featuring a creamy ranch mayo spread, layered with American or cheddar cheese, deli ham, turkey breast, and crisp butter lettuce, all rolled up in soft flour tortillas. Perfect for parties, picnics, or quick snacks.

Ingredients

Scale

Spread

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning

Wrap

  • 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces sliced American or cheddar cheese
  • 1 pound deli-sliced baked ham
  • 1 pound deli-sliced turkey breast
  • 16 butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the spread: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the mayonnaise and ranch seasoning until well combined. This will add a flavorful creamy base for the sandwiches.
  2. Assemble the tortillas: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread about 1 tablespoon of the ranch mayonnaise mixture over the bottom two-thirds of each tortilla to create a flavorful layer.
  3. Add layers of fillings: Place 2 to 3 slices of American or cheddar cheese over the spread on each tortilla. Next, layer the ham and turkey slices evenly over the cheese, followed by 2 to 3 butter lettuce leaves on top. These layers provide a balanced combination of flavors and textures.
  4. Roll and slice: Tightly roll each tortilla starting from the filled end to the opposite side to form a compact wrap. If serving immediately, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick rounds to create bite-size pinwheels, then arrange them on a platter for serving.
  5. Make-ahead option: To prepare in advance, place the rolled tortillas seam side down on a baking sheet and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Slice into pinwheels just before serving to ensure freshness and ease of presentation.

Notes

  • You can substitute ranch seasoning with your favorite dry seasoning blend or use a packet of ranch dressing mix.
  • Cheese can be substituted with any mild cheese such as mozzarella or Swiss if preferred.
  • For extra crunch, add thin slices of cucumber or bell pepper before rolling.
  • To keep tortillas from cracking when rolling, warm them slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  • These pinwheels are best served fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
