How to Make Turkey Cheddar Lunch Roll Ups

Ingredients:

4 large tortilla wraps (whole wheat or regular)
8 slices of deli turkey
4 slices of cheddar cheese
1 cup of spinach or mixed greens
½ cup of sliced bell peppers (any color)
¼ cup of cream cheese (or hummus)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: sliced cucumbers, olives, or any preferred veggies

Directions:

Creating Turkey Cheddar Lunch Roll Ups is straightforward with these simple steps:

Gather all your ingredients on a clean cutting board or countertop.
Take one tortilla wrap and spread a thin layer of cream cheese (or hummus) evenly over it.
Place 2 slices of turkey on top of the cream cheese, covering the surface as much as possible.
Lay 1 slice of cheddar cheese over the turkey.
Scatter a handful of spinach (or mixed greens) and sliced bell peppers on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly until you reach the other end. Ensure all ingredients stay inside as you roll.
Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 2 inches thick.
Arrange the slices on a platter and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later.
Continue the process for the remaining tortilla wraps until all ingredients are used.

Make sure not to put too much cream cheese or hummus, as it may cause the roll-up to be messy.
