Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- Warm tortillas: Microwave the burrito-sized flour tortillas for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable and easier to roll without cracking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
