Hawaiian Tortilla Roll Ups for Lunch

Sharing is caring!

These Hawaiian Tortilla Roll Ups are so easy to make, and so tasty, I’m pretty sure I’m going to make them again today. Because fast, fun and yum? Perfect combination.

Back to these absolutely perfect Hawaiian pinwheel sandwiches though. Not too much filling (I hate when it falls out all over me), just enough flour tortilla to offset the cream cheese mixture…just perfect.

Too bad I ran out of deli ham or I’d be making more right now. And the store is just…so far…sigh…

How to Make These Tortilla Wrap Sandwiches:

So, if you’ve never made tortilla wraps, they’re really easy. I like to make them for the kids’ lunches, or even just for myself when I get those rare days when they’re not home for lunch. Simple and filling, they’re easy and a little healthy, if the alternative is fried food or fast food. LOL!

So, I usually let my cream cheese sit on the counter for a bit so it’s nice and soft. Then I mix the cream cheese and pineapple. I like to use crushed pineapple, but I strain off as much of the juice as possible, because I don’t like my pinwheel sandwiches to be wet.

I then layer-up my slices of ham. I like the thinly sliced ham because it’s more fun that way. But chunky ham can be good. You do you.

Then you just cover it with plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator. I like to leave it in there for an hour, but the best Hawaiian tortilla wraps are the ones where I’ve refrigerated at least 2 hours. Gives the cheese plenty of time to really bond with the pineapple and firm up. I love it.
