Servings: 2
Ingredients
For the garlic aioli
- 3 TBSP mayo
- 1 tsp garlic powder plus more to taste
- 1 tsp lemon juice plus more to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the pinwheels
- 2 large tortillas
- 4 leaves lettuce I used green leaf
- 6 oz sliced deli meat ham or turkey
- 4 oz sliced cheese provolone or cheddar
- 1 red bell pepper cut into strips, or other crunchy vegetable
For the sides
- 1 package of coleslaw or premade salad
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 orange peeled and sectioned
- 1 cup potato chips sub pretzels or other crunchy snacks
- 1/4 cup nuts sub seeds or trail mix
Instructions
- Combine the mayo, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until it is fully combined and set aside.
- On a large tortilla, spread half of the aioli all the way to the edges. Lay half of the lettuce near the middle of the tortilla. Top with half of the meat, half of the cheese, and half of the bell pepper, keeping everything in a straight line. Tightly rolling up your pinwheel, and try to keep even tightness across the full length of the roll (otherwise your ends will be loose!). If you get to the final edge and there isn't aioli there, dab a few spots to glue it together. Slice into 2-inch (5 cm) thick slices, using toothpicks to secure as needed (mine didn't need this).
- If you are using a divided container, put the pinwheels in the largest compartment. Add the salad, chips, and fruit in smaller sections. Store any dips or dressings in a separate lidded container. That's it!
