Introduction

Fresh Vegetable Tortilla Roll Ups are a colorful and satisfying snack perfect for any time of day. These bite-sized pinwheels combine a creamy, flavorful spread with crisp vegetables wrapped in soft flour tortillas. They’re easy to make and great for sharing at parties or packing for lunch.

Ingredients

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 4 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann’s)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp dried dill
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp sliced green onions
• 1 cup diced vegetables (broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, cut about 1/4-inch pieces)
• 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Prepare your vegetables by dicing broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper into small 1/4-inch pieces. Mince them finely so each bite has a mix of flavors. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature to make mixing easier.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
3. Step 3: Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla. Sprinkle the diced vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions evenly on top.
4. Step 4: Roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other. Use the cream cheese mixture to help the tortillas stick together. Secure each roll with one or two toothpicks. Place the rolls in the freezer for 20 minutes or chill overnight wrapped or in a container for easy prep.
5. Step 5: Remove the toothpicks and slice each roll into pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve as a tasty snack or light meal.

Tips & Variations

• For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and mayonnaise with vegan alternatives.
• Try adding fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Cream Cheese Spread

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 4 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann’s preferred)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp dried dill
• 1/8 tsp black pepper

Roll-Ups

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp sliced green onions
• 1 cup diced vegetables (broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, about 1/4-inch pieces)
• 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter, e.g., Mission Brand)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables and Ingredients: Begin by choosing and finely dicing 1 cup of vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper into approximately 1/4-inch pieces for ideal texture. Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature to make mixing easier.
2. Mix the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon dried dill, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Prepare and Fill the Tortillas: Warm the 2 large flour tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make rolling easier. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla. Then sprinkle the diced vegetables, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 tablespoons sliced green onions evenly over the cream cheese layer.
4. Roll and Secure the Tortillas: Starting at one edge, roll each tortilla tightly toward the opposite side so the cream cheese filling helps secure the wrap. Use toothpicks to hold the rolls together. Place the rolls in the freezer for 20 minutes to set or chill them overnight wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for convenient advance preparation.
5. Slice and Serve: Remove toothpicks, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels, arrange them on a serving platter, and enjoy as a fresh snack or light meal.

Notes

• Softening the cream cheese at room temperature is key for easier mixing.
• Dicing the vegetables finely ensures a good texture and easy rolling.
• Warming the tortillas slightly prevents cracking when rolling.
• Chilling the rolls before slicing helps maintain their shape.
• Feel free to customize vegetables based on your preference or seasonal availability.
