Tortilla Pinwheels

4 whole wheat tortillas, 8-inch size
1/4 cup cream cheese, low fat, fat-free or regular
12 slices lean turkey (smoked, turkey-ham)
8-12 spinach leaves, washed and dried
1/2 cup grated carrots

Let the cream cheese come to room temperature. Whip with a mixer, or by hand, to make it easier to spread.

Using a spatula or knife, spread about 1 tablespoon cream cheese on each tortilla, making sure to reach the edges. Place 3 slices of meat on each tortilla. Put several spinach leaves in the center of the tortilla and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of carrots. Roll tortilla tightly; secure with a toothpick.

Cut the tortilla into pinwheels by cutting it in half first, then making bite-sized slices along the tortilla until you reach the end. Lay each piece cut-side down on a serving plate.

Variations:
Choose colorful vegetables such as red peppers, cucumber, or avocado in your pinwheel.

Make a fruit pinwheel using peanut butter or jam as the spread, then top with thin banana slices and other soft fruit like peaches, plums, nectarines or strawberries.
