Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix 8 oz softened cream cheese with 2 tbsp Dijon mustard and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  2. Step 2: Lay out 4 large flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  3. Step 3: Layer 2 oz sliced deli ham, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 leaves of leaf lettuce, and a sprinkle of thinly sliced green onions over each tortilla.
  4. Step 4: Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log, then wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Step 5: When ready to serve, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels and arrange on a platter or pack in airtight containers for an easy picnic finger food.

Can I substitute ingredients in No-Bake Ham and Cheese Pinwheel Wraps?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

The recipe is written for 8 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 8). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
