  2. Mix together mustard and mayonnaise and spread mixture over the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around edge.  Arrange spinach leaves on top. Cover spinach with turkey. Lay apple slices across the middle in a row. Sprinkle pecans and cranberries on top of apple.
  3. Lift up bottom edge of tortilla and working in direction away from you, roll up tortilla as tightly as possible. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil and refrigerate up to 12 hours.
