Print Recipe

A quick and easy lunchbox recipe featuring turkey, ranch dressing, and fresh veggies rolled in a soft tortilla and sliced into bite-sized pinwheels. Perfect for school, work, or picnics.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 8-inch (20 cm) flour tortilla
  • 3–4 slices (2–3 oz / 60–85 g) sliced turkey breast
  • 1 to 1.5 tablespoons ranch dressing
  • 1–2 fresh lettuce leaves (romaine or butter lettuce)
  • A handful of thin cucumber slices
  • Grated carrot strips
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Pinch of salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: avocado slices
  • Optional: pickles or jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Lay out the tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
  2. Spread about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of ranch dressing evenly over the entire tortilla surface.
  3. Arrange 3-4 slices (2-3 oz / 60-85 g) of turkey breast evenly across the tortilla, covering but not overlapping too thickly.
  4. Place 1-2 leaves of romaine or butter lettuce, then add a handful of thin cucumber slices and grated carrot strips.
  5. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons (15 g) of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the veggies.
  6. Add a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
  7. Roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to keep the filling snug inside, tucking edges in if needed.
  8. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick slices to make 6-8 pinwheels.
  9. Arrange the pinwheels neatly in a bento box or lunch container and add any desired sides.

Notes

Pat lettuce and cucumbers dry to avoid soggy tortillas. Use a sharp serrated knife for clean slicing. Wrap rolled tortillas tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before slicing to help them hold their shape. Substitute gluten-free tortillas or leafy greens for gluten-free or low-carb diets. Ranch dressing can be swapped for hummus, cream cheese with herbs, or vinaigrette for different flavors or lower fat.
