Ham and Swiss Pinwheels

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 8 hours 20 minutes
Makes 24 pinwheels (serves 8)

Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 8 ounces thinly sliced deli ham
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves patted dry

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, Dijon mustard and mayonnaise until smooth and spreadable.
  • Lay a tortilla flat and spread a quarter of the cream cheese mixture edge to edge, leaving a half inch bare at the top for sealing.
  • Layer a quarter of the ham, two slices of Swiss cheese and a quarter of the spinach over the cream cheese, keeping it inside the border.
  • Roll the tortilla up tightly from the bottom edge, pressing firmly as you go so there are no air pockets.
  • Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap, twisting the ends like a candy wrapper, and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Refrigerate the wrapped rolls overnight, or at least 4 hours, so they firm up enough to slice cleanly.
  • Unwrap and trim off the ragged ends with a sharp knife, then slice each roll into 1-inch rounds.
  • Arrange the pinwheels cut side up on a platter and keep chilled until serving.

Good to Know

Swap in turkey and provolone, or go meatless with roasted red peppers in place of the ham.
