La semana pasada tuve la oportunidad de asistir a la gran reinauguración de una tienda Safeway en El Dorado Hills . El evento fue divertidísimo, con una ceremonia de inauguración, muchísimos juegos, premios y mucha emoción.
La tienda es preciosa. Realmente increíble. Pasé más de 3 horas maravillosas allí, simplemente recorriendo los pasillos y admirando los productos, las frutas y verduras, y las preciosas flores. Si estás cerca, vale la pena el viaje, créeme.
Solo por la sección de panadería vale la pena el viaje. Grabé un video rápido y lo compartí en Instagram Stories (¡aún puedes verlo en mi video destacado!) y la gente empezó a escribir preguntando dónde estaba esta tienda. ¡Pasteles increíbles, precios increíbles!
Esta tienda tiene una selección de vinos impresionante, un mostrador de carnes y mariscos inmejorable, un departamento floral asombroso y la exhibición de productos más hermosa que jamás haya visto.
Después de llenar mi carrito con todo tipo de delicias, pasé por la charcutería para comprar algo para comer de camino a casa. Era un wrap de pavo y arándanos, y tras un bocado, supe que quería convertirlo en un divertido aperitivo de rollos de carne.
Lo que necesitarás para hacer rollitos de tortilla
These pinwheel sandwiches are super simple to make and you only need a handful of ingredients to pull them together:
- tortillas or wraps – I used a combination of wraps and burrito size tortillas for these pinwheels. You can of course use smaller tortillas if you prefer, your pinwheels will just be smaller
- cream cheese – make sure the cream cheese is adequately softened so you can really mix in the cranberries and chives
- dried cranberries – the cranberries add an unexpected sweetness to these wraps that is so delicious, don’t leave them out!
- chives or green onions – I used chives because they are both mellower and smaller but either will work.
- turkey slices – oven roasted turkey works great here and if you can’t find deli meat, leftover turkey, thinly sliced would be delicious
- Havarti cheese – I chose Havarti because it’s a semi-soft cheese that is mellow and pliable. You don’t want a hard cheese here UNLESS you shred the cheese. The tortillas won’t roll nicely if you have big chunks of hard cheese in there.
- Romaine lettuce – spinach or butter lettuce could be substituted

How To Make Pinwheel Sandwiches
Tortilla roll ups are incredibly easy to make and these turkey pinwheels are no exception. Let’s do this!
- Combine softened cream cheese, chopped chives, and dried cranberries in a small bowl.
- Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over two tortillas placed side by side, slightly overlapping.
- Layer on turkey, cheese, and lettuce.
- Starting at the short end, roll tortillas up tightly and chill for 1 hour before serving.
- When ready to serve, slice into one inch pieces and place on a plate or serving platter.

Variations To Try
The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to pinwheels. Here are some of our favorite variations:
- Swapping out turkey for another deli meat is a quick way to change up this easy appetizer. Try ham, roast beef, or salami.
- Any cheese will work in this recipe but be sure to pair up the cheese with a complementary protein. For example: salami with provolone, roast beef with cheddar or Swiss, ham with cheddar or Swiss. If you use a hard cheese, instead of using cheese slices, grate the cheese and incorporate it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Instead of Romaine try spinach, butter lettuce, or arugula.
Tips for the BEST Pinwheels
- Don’t forget to soften the cream cheese. It has to be soft so you can spread it easily and mix in the chives and cranberries.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly and generously. If the cranberries are all one side, move them around.
- Use fresh tortillas or wraps that are nice and soft so they don’t crack or split when you roll them.
- Roll the tortillas as tightly as possible. This helps keep the pinwheels tight when they are sliced.
- Use toothpicks to keep them from unrolling.
