Ingredients & Notes
- Cheese – Cream cheese and your favorite sliced cheese. You can use cheddar, provolone, Monterey jack, or Havarti cheese slices.
- Tortilla wraps – Go with your favorite wraps. Spinach, corn, or white always turns out great.
- Tabasco sauce – Tabasco sauce is used in the spread to make it spicy. You can add a little or a lot depending on how spicy you like it.
- Mayo – The mayo will help blend and bind the spicy spread together.

How To Make Sun Dried Tomato Spicy Pinwheels
See below for a full list of ingredients and detailed instructions.
- Make the spicy sun-dried tomato spread: Combine the cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, mayonnaise, Tabasco sauce, in a small bowl until well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the tortillas. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the tortillas. Add 4-5 slices of sliced turkey, cheese, and lettuce along the center of the tortilla. Leave a bit of space on the edges since the filling will spread when you roll it up.
- Roll the tortilla up, tightly, towards the side that has the deli meat set back from the edge.
- Store in the fridge, seam side down, in a baking dish or wrapped in plastic wrap until ready to serve.
Substitutions & Variations
- You can use spinach, corn, or flour tortillas. It’s all about preference here and you can experiment with each to find your favorite.
- To give it a spicy kick, Tabasco sauce is used. If you want less spicy use less Tabasco. Use more if you want it extra spicy.
- Mayo – I recommend actual mayo, something like Hellman’s, not Miracle Whip. The Miracle Whip will give it a tangy flavor, and will change up the flavor of the pinwheels.
- Make double of the creamy spread and serve it as a dipping sauce.
- Use your favorite cheese.Cheddar, provolone, monterey jack, or havarti cheese works well with these pinwheels.
