Steps

Leave the cream cheese on the counter for 20 minutes to .
Softened. For vegetables it means cooked until they bend and lose their crunch; for butter, left out until it dents easily. Soft onions taste sweet, and soft butter mixes in smoothly.
How you’ll know: Onions squash easily against the pan with your spoon, and butter dents under a finger without looking greasy.

the cranberries and pecans and them into the cream cheese.
Chop. Chopping means cutting food into bite-size pieces that don’t need to be neat. Keep them roughly the same size so everything cooks evenly.
How you’ll know: Your pieces are about half an inch and roughly alike, even if none of them are pretty.
Stir. Stirring means moving food around with a spoon or spatula so it cooks evenly and doesn’t stick. Unless the recipe says constantly, every so often is plenty, and it gives food time to brown.
How you’ll know: When you drag the spoon across the bottom, nothing is sticking or scorching.
Spread the cream cheese over each tortilla, all the way to the edges.
Dolly’s tip: The cream cheese seals the tortilla like a coat of paint, which is why these hold so well overnight.Layer the turkey over the cream cheese, then a single layer of spinach.
Food safety: If you’re pregnant, heat deli meat, hot dogs, salami, pepperoni and smoked salmon until steaming hot, 165°F, just before eating, or leave them out. Eaten cold, they carry a small risk of listeria.
Roll each one up tightly from one side and wrap it snugly in foil or plastic wrap.
Refrigerate until morning, then pack it with an ice pack and cut it in half at lunch.
Dolly’s tip: They’re best within a day of rolling.
