Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
