Equipment

18" Bamboo Cutting Board or Charcuterie Board
8" Hexclad Stainless Steel Bread Knife These are the best knives.
4 Inch Wood Frill Picks Toothpicks for Sandwiches, Fruit, Appetizers, Tortilla Roll-Ups
Set of 3 Offset Spatulas Great for spreading cream cheese on tortillas or frosting a cake.

Ingredients

18 slices deli ham, salami or turkey (thinly sliced)
12 slices cheddar cheese
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
6 small flour tortillas

Instructions

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese tortilla. Spread it out well so that the whole tortilla has a thin layer. Place two slices cheese on top (cutting into pieces, if needed to cover tortilla). Then place a few pieces of deli meat to cover the surface of the tortilla, overlapping meat if needed. This ensures that each pinwheel has meat and cheese.
Roll up the tortilla tightly. Cut off a small portion of each end and discard, then cut the remaining rolled tortilla into 5-6 slices, about 1 inch thick. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Notes

How do I store the leftover pinwheels? Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

Can I make this fun appetizer ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the rolls up to 24 hours in advance. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap to keep them fresh, then slice and serve when ready.
