Easy school lunch idea: Pinwheels

If your kids are getting tired of sandwiches for lunch, here’s another of my favorite easy lunch ideas: the pinwheel sandwich, or call it a wrap, or a turkey roll-up, or whatever you like. It’s a classic favorite lunch here and so easy to make.

All you need to do is take the usual stuff you might put on a sandwich and roll it up in a tortilla instead. Then just sliced that roll into bite size pieces. I like to stick them on a little skewer so they hold together even if they get tossed around in the lunch box.

The ones you see in this picture have a variety of ingredients because my four kids have different preferences - ham, turkey, roast beef, one is just cheese. Some have mayo and some don’t. You can use cream cheese, or hummus, mustard - the possible combination are endless. Round out the lunch with a fruit, a veggie, and a little sweet treat, and you’re good to go. This is a lunch box that almost always comes home empty.

These lunches are packed in our favorite lunch container - the EasyBoxes Original. You can find even more of our favorite lunch packing products in this custom list on my Amazon shop.
