How to Cook Turkey and Cheese Roll-Ups?
A simple and fun recipe to prepare.
Step 1: Mix the Filling
In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper until combined.
Step 2: Prepare the Tortilla
Lay one tortilla flat on a cutting board and spread half of the cream cheese mixture all the way to the edges.
Step 3: Add Fillings
Sprinkle half of the lettuce on the tortilla, then layer 3 slices of turkey and 2 pieces of cheese on the left side of the tortilla (not touching the edge).
Step 4: Roll It Up
Start rolling one end of the tortilla gently but tightly until completely rolled up, pressing to seal the roll ups. Add more cream cheese if needed to seal.
Step 5: Cut and Serve
Cut each tortilla roll up in half, then cut each half into 5 pieces, removing the unfilled ends if desired. Serve and enjoy!
