Ingredients
- 4 (8- to 10-inch) flour tortillas (see note)
- 2 cups lightly packed baby spinach leaves
- 2 large plum tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced roasted turkey breast (see note)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese or a combination
Roasted red pepper sauce:
- 1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil
- 8 ounces low-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
- For the sauce, combine roasted red peppers, basil, and cream cheese until completely blended. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Spread each tortilla with a thin layer of the sauce (you will have more than you need, but will use the extra in your Leftover Strategy for the week). Arrange spinach leaves evenly over sauce to within 1 inch of edge. Divide diced tomatoes and shredded cheese and scatter over spinach leaves. Layer turkey on top. with single layer of tomato slices. Evenly layer turkey slices over tomatoes.
- Tightly roll each tortilla and wrap rolls individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours. To serve, trim off uneven ends of rolls. Cut rolls into 1-inch slices or in half depending on young appetites.
Recipe notes: Look for flavored or whole-wheat tortillas. Choose other deli meats depending on household preferences.
Leftover strategy:
The ingredients can be re-imagined for quesadillas a few days later. Add a salad and seasonal fruit and call everyone to the table. Also, the roasted red pepper sauce can be tossed with pasta for another meal.
