Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas (about 10-inch diameter)
  • 8 ounces deli turkey slices, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, finely chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for pan-frying

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: Place 4 strips in a cold pan, then turn heat to medium. Cook until crisp, about 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally. Transfer to paper towels to drain and crumble once cooled.
  2. Prep the veggies: Wash and finely chop 1 cup romaine lettuce. Slice 1 medium tomato thinly. Pat lettuce dry to avoid soggy roll-ups.
  3. Mix the spread: In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Stir well and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the roll-ups: Lay one flour tortilla flat. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the mayo mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a small border.
  5. Add layers: Place 2 ounces (about 4 slices) of deli turkey evenly on the tortilla. Sprinkle 1 ounce shredded cheddar cheese, followed by a handful of chopped lettuce, 2-3 tomato slices, and crumbled bacon (about 1 strip per tortilla).
  6. Roll tightly: Starting at one edge, roll the tortilla firmly but gently to avoid tearing. Use a sharp knife to slice into 1-inch pinwheels. Set aside on a plate.
  7. Pan-fry for crispiness: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place pinwheels cut-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip carefully and crisp the other side for another 2 minutes.
  8. Drain and cool: Transfer cooked pinwheels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let cool slightly before packing in lunchboxes.

Notes

Warm tortillas for about 10 seconds in the microwave if they start tearing while rolling. Avoid overfilling to keep roll-ups intact during frying. Dry lettuce thoroughly to prevent sogginess. Use medium heat for frying to achieve perfect crispiness without burning. A serrated knife works best for slicing pinwheels cleanly.
