Ingredients
  

8 large whole wheat tortillas

16 oz sliced turkey breast

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sweet barbecue sauce (optional)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Olive oil, for grilling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped chives. Using a spatula or hand mixer, blend until smooth and creamy. This flavorful spread adds a delicious base to your roll-ups.

    Assemble the Roll-Ups: On a clean, flat surface, place one tortilla. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire tortilla, taking care to leave a 1-inch border around the edges to prevent spillage.

      Layer Turkey and Cheese: Place 2 slices of turkey in the center of the tortilla over the cream cheese. Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top. For a touch of sweetness and extra flavor, drizzle a bit of barbecue sauce over the turkey and cheese if desired.

        Roll it Up: Starting at one end of the tortilla, roll it up tightly away from you, ensuring that the filling stays securely inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients until everything is used.

          Slice into Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each rolled tortilla into pinwheels, aiming for 1-inch thick slices. You should yield approximately 6-8 pinwheels from each tortilla.

            Grill the Melts: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a light drizzle of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the pinwheels seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, watching closely until the tortillas become golden brown and the cheese is melted to perfection.

              Serve: After grilling, transfer the roll-up melts to a plate and let them cool slightly. These are best served warm. Enjoy them as a delightful appetizer or a satisfying snack! If you like, serve them with extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.

                  Optional Presentation Tips: Arrange the pinwheels on a colorful serving platter, garnished with fresh chives or parsley for a pop of color. Consider using small skewers to hold them together for a fun touch!
