Quick and easy strawberry cream cheese pinwheel wraps that are perfect for kids’ lunchboxes, combining creamy, tangy cream cheese with sweet strawberries in a soft tortilla.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Large flour tortillas – about 10-inch diameter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, softened (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by whipping it in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Optionally, add softened butter and mix well.
  2. Stir in vanilla extract, lemon zest, and honey or maple syrup if using. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
  3. Wash and thinly slice the fresh strawberries.
  4. Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Arrange the sliced strawberries in an even layer over the cream cheese spread.
  6. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly but gently into a log shape.
  7. Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  8. Remove from fridge, unwrap, and cut the roll into 1-inch slices to form pinwheels.
  9. Serve immediately or pack in lunchboxes. Best enjoyed within a few hours but can be stored in the fridge up to 24 hours.

Notes

Chill the rolled wraps for at least 15 minutes to help them hold together and make slicing easier. Use a sharp or serrated knife for clean cuts. For vegan or gluten-free options, substitute dairy-free cream cheese and gluten-free tortillas. Avoid microwaving leftovers to prevent soggy tortillas.
