# Required Ingredients:
→ Pinwheels
01 - 4 large 10-inch spinach or flour tortillas
02 - 6 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
04 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
05 - 7 oz smoked turkey breast, thinly sliced

# Preparation Steps:
01 - Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard in a medium bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
02 - Lay one tortilla flat and evenly spread one-quarter of the cheese mixture over the surface, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
03 - Layer smoked turkey slices evenly atop the spread, then scatter diced red bell pepper, julienned cucumber, grated carrot, and chopped chives over it.
04 - Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up for slicing.
05 - Repeat the spreading, layering, and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
06 - Unwrap each roll and cut into 6 equal pinwheels.
07 - Arrange pinwheels on a large platter in a triangular Christmas tree shape, starting with a wide base narrowing toward a point.

09 - Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
