Vegetable Cream Cheese Tortilla Roll-Ups Recipe

Introduction

These Vegetable Cream Cheese Tortilla Roll Ups are a fresh and flavorful snack that’s perfect for parties or quick meals. Combining crunchy veggies with a creamy herbed spread, they’re easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped veggies: broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper
• 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1/3 cup mayo
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp dried dill
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 2 large burrito-sized flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp chopped green onion

Instructions

1. Step 1: Choose and chop your veggies finely so each bite has a little bit of everything.
2. Step 2: Allow cream cheese to soften for easier mixing. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, mayo, garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3. Step 3: Microwave tortillas for 15-20 seconds to make them more flexible. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle the chopped veggies, grated cheddar cheese, and chopped green onion evenly on top of the cream cheese layer.
5. Step 5: Starting at one edge, roll each tortilla tightly until fully rolled. The cream cheese will help it stick. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
6. Step 6: Chill the rolled tortillas in the freezer for 20 minutes to set, or wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight if preparing ahead.
7. Step 7: Remove toothpicks, slice into pinwheels, and serve fresh.

Tips & Variations

• Try swapping mayo for Greek yogurt for a lighter twist.
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Vegetable Mix

• 1 cup chopped veggies: broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper

Spread Mixture

• 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1/3 cup mayo
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp dried dill
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper

Additional Ingredients

• 2 large burrito-sized flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp chopped green onion

Instructions

1. Prepare and chop vegetables: Choose fresh veggies like broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper, then finely mince them to ensure a balanced burst of flavors in each bite.
2. Mix cream cheese filling: Let the cream cheese soften for easy mixing. In a medium bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with mayo, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
3. Warm tortillas: Microwave the burrito-sized flour tortillas for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable and easier to roll without cracking.
4. Assemble roll ups: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the warmed tortillas. Sprinkle chopped veggies, grated cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions evenly atop the spread.
5. Roll tightly: Starting at one edge, roll up the tortillas tightly until fully wrapped. The cream cheese acts as a glue to hold the roll securely together.
6. Chill to set: Secure the roll ups with toothpicks if needed, then chill in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up. Alternatively, you can refrigerate overnight (wrapped or stored in a container) for convenient meal or snack prep.
7. Serve: Remove toothpicks and slice the rolls into pinwheel rounds. Serve immediately chilled for a refreshing, creamy, and crunchy snack.

Notes

• Chop veggies very finely for better texture and easier rolling.
• Microwaving tortillas softens them and prevents cracking during rolling.
• Chilling helps the cream cheese set, making slicing easier and cleaner.
• These roll ups can be made a day ahead and stored tightly wrapped in the fridge.
• Use gluten-free tortillas to make the recipe gluten-free if preferred.
