Mummy Wrapped Turkey and Cheese Roll-Ups
Turn a standard tortilla wrap into an ancient Egyptian treasure with the mummy wrapping technique. Start with a spinach or whole wheat tortilla, spread it with a thin layer of cream cheese, and layer it with sliced turkey breast and mild cheddar. Roll the tortilla tightly, then use a sharp knife to slice it into bite-sized pinwheels. To create the mummy effect, drape thin strips of puff pastry or additional flour tortillas over the pinwheels, securing them with a tiny dab of cream cheese. For the final touch, add two edible candy eyes or small slices of black olives to peer out from between the wraps.
These roll-ups are incredibly durable and hold their shape beautifully throughout the school day. They offer a balanced mix of protein, dairy, and carbohydrates, making them as nutritious as they are visually entertaining. Pair them with “tombstone” crackers or carrot sticks for a complete, themed midday meal.
