Vegan Tortilla Roll ups Recipe with Dairy free Cream Cheese

These Vegan Tortilla Roll Ups combine a dairy-free cream cheese made from tofu with fresh herbs and chopped vegetables, all rolled inside large tortillas. The filling is flavored with lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and onion powders, and herbs like dill and basil, creating a tangy and herbaceous spread. Chilling helps firm up the rolls for neat slicing and serving as cold appetizers or snacks.

Ingredients

For the Cream cheese filling:

  • 1.5 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dill
  • 1 tsp basil dried
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
Veggies:
  • 1/4 cup green pepper finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup spring onion chopped
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomato dry, not packed in oil, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup basil
  • 1/2 cup fresh herbs
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach or other fresh herbs
Roll ups:
  • 2 tortilla gluten-free if needed (see notes for recipe for my gluten-free tortillas, large

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Squeeze the tofu between paper towels to remove the excess water and slice. Add the cream cheese ingredients in a small food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Taste and adjust flavor (salt, tang, add a pinch of sugar to balance if needed)
  2. Add the peppers, onion and sun dried tomato and mix. Chill for 15 mins.
  3. Spread the mixture on 2 large tortillas, spread evenly, not more than 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Add baby spinach or fresh herbs on top. Roll the tortillas tightly, use a little cream cheese to seal the ends. Chill for atleast 2 hours so that the cream cheese can get stiff and the rolls ups can be sliced easily. Slice with a sharp serrated knife. Serve cold.
  5. These pinwheels can also be served pan-fried. Lightly dust flour on both sides and pan fry until golden and serve. (This is how hubbs ate all)

Notes

  • Gluten-free tortillas can be made from cauliflower or sweet potato as detailed in the blog's linked recipes.
  • For soy-free options, use store-bought vegan cream cheese or blend soaked cashews with the other cream cheese ingredients, adjusting lemon and salt as needed.
  • The recipe's nutrition information refers to one serving consisting of approximately two roll-up slices.
