Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl or food processor, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and ground white pepper until smooth and creamy.
  2. Stir the finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
  3. Lay out one flour tortilla on a clean work surface.
  4. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges if desired, but ensuring full coverage for flavor.
  5. Arrange slices of turkey breast over the cheese layer, slightly overlapping them to cover the tortilla completely.
  6. Scatter a handful of fresh watercress leaves over the turkey layer.
  7. Starting from one short edge, roll the tortilla up tightly into a log shape.
  8. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, filling and rolling each one.
  9. Wrap each rolled pinwheel tightly in plastic wrap to maintain its shape.
  10. Place the wrapped pinwheels in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the rolls to firm up.
  11. When ready to serve, unwrap the pinwheels and slice them into 1/2-inch thick pieces on a slight diagonal.
  12. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.
