Ingredients

4 oz. cream cheese, softened $1.10
2 Tbsp sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded $0.87
1/3 cup pimento-stuffed olives, finely chopped $0.99
1 Tbsp olive brine
1/2 tsp garlic powder $0.05
1/4 tsp black pepper $0.01
4 extra-large or burrito-style flour tortillas $1.15
1 9oz. package sliced turkey $4.99
1 cup spinach $0.80

Instructions

Stir together the softened cream cheese, finely-shredded cheddar cheese, finely-chopped pimento-stuffed olives, olive brine, garlic powder, and black pepper until very well combined.
Lay the tortillas out flat. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on one side of each tortilla, coating the entire face evenly from edge to edge.
Arrange 3-4 slices of turkey along the center of the tortilla, overlapping them as little as possible to make an even layer, and leaving about ¼” of the cream cheese spread exposed on the top and bottom edges of the tortilla to help it stick together. Then add a single layer of spinach leaves on top of the turkey.
Starting with the edge closest to you, fold over the tortilla so it sticks, and then roll it up as tightly as possible, tucking in the fillings as you go.
With the seam side facing down, slice the roll into 1" wide pieces.
Flip each pinwheel on its face, exposing the spiral, and transfer it to a serving platter or air-tight meal prep container. The pinwheels should hold together on their own, but if desired, you can insert a decorative toothpick into each.
