Ingredients

4 (12-inch, white) burrito-size tortillas, soft
4 (12-inch, green) spinach-herb tortilla wraps
2 (8-ounce) blocks of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 tablespoons (or 2 packets) Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning
1 pound cooked crispy bacon, finely crumbled
8 slices Havarti cheese
8 slices Colby Jack cheese

Directions

Ready to roll? Here’s how to make these scrumptious sandwiches:

Cut the softened blocks of cream cheese into chunks. Throw them into a large mixing bowl and, using an electric hand mixer, beat until smooth and fluffy.
Add mayo and ranch seasoning to the bowl. Mix to combine. Gently fold in the crispy bacon bits using a rubber spatula.
Lay out the 4 green tortilla wraps on a work surface. Divide half of the cream cheese mixture between them, and spread it into a thin layer, leaving a 1-inch border.
On each green tortilla, layer slices of deli chicken, Colby Jack cheese, and salami, spreading ingredients out instead of stacking them in the center.
On the bottom half of each wrap, arrange 1/4 cup of baby spinach leaves.
Lay out the 4 white flour tortillas and divide the remaining cream cheese mixture among them, spreading evenly like before.
Layer on the ham (or pastrami), 2 slices of Havarti cheese, and 4 slices of salami.
Place butter lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each tortilla.
Roll each tortilla tightly from the bottom to create a log. Slice into 8 pinwheel sandwiches, or as thick as you like. Optional: secure each pinwheel with a pick.
