Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy spreading to ensure smooth application on the tortillas.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese over each tortilla, covering the entire surface to help the other ingredients stick.
- Layer Fillings: Arrange the sliced deli ham evenly on top of the cream cheese, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the ham, and finally add fresh spinach leaves for added freshness and texture.
- Roll Tortillas: Starting from one edge, roll each tortilla tightly all the way to the other end, making sure the layers stay compact for neat slices.

Notes
- For easier slicing, refrigerate the rolled tortillas for 30 minutes before cutting.
- Substitute turkey or roast beef for ham if preferred.
- Use flavored cream cheese like garlic and herb for extra zest.
- These pinwheels can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated, but are best served fresh.
