3. Step 3: Place 2 to 3 slices of cheese on the bottom two-thirds of each tortilla, then layer with ham and turkey slices.

Tips & Variations

• Swap ranch seasoning for your favorite spice blend or add a bit of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
• Try using different cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss for varied flavor.
• For a vegetarian version, replace meats with grilled vegetables or hummus.

Storage

Store uncut rolled sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours. Once sliced, it’s best to serve immediately to maintain freshness and prevent the tortillas from drying out. If needed, cover with plastic wrap to keep moist.

FAQs

Can I make these pinwheel sandwiches a day ahead?

It’s best to prepare and refrigerate them no more than 6 hours in advance to keep the tortillas fresh and prevent sogginess.
