Tips for Making the Best Turkey and Cheese Roll-Ups
Get Creative with Fillings: Add a smear of cream cheese, a sprinkle of shredded carrots, or a thin layer of avocado for extra flavor and nutrition. For more ideas on customizing your roll-ups, check out our section on [Link to the “Fun Variations” section below].
Use Soft Tortillas: This prevents them from cracking when rolled.
Don’t Overfill: Too many fillings will make them difficult to roll and can make them soggy.
Secure with Toothpicks (Optional): If you’re making them ahead of time, you can secure them with toothpicks to help them hold their shape. Just remember to remove them before eating!
