Vegetable Cream Cheese Tortilla Roll Ups
Description
The recipe begins by finely chopping the vegetables to distribute their flavors evenly in each bite. Cream cheese softened for ease of mixing is combined with mayonnaise, garlic powder, dill, salt, and black pepper to make a flavorful spread. This mixture is evenly spread on warmed tortillas, topped with the chopped vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions.
The tortillas are then rolled tightly from the edge to encase the filling, with cream cheese helping to hold the roll together. Chilling the roll-ups in the freezer for 20 minutes firms them, facilitating clean slicing into delicate pinwheel shapes. They can also be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated, making them convenient for snacks or party appetizers.
The pinwheels balance fresh crunch from the vegetables with rich creaminess and mild cheesy notes. Their colorful appearance and cool texture make them appealing finger foods suitable for casual gatherings or light meals.
The notes clarify that the chill time is essential for easy slicing and shape retention. Nutritional information is estimated, so adjustments may vary.
Ingredients
- 1 cup broccoli chopped
- 1 cup carrot
- 1 cup red bell pepper
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp dill dried
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 2 flour tortilla large burrito-sized
- ½ cup cheddar cheese grated
- 2 TBSP green onion chopped
Instructions
- Choose and chop your veggies. I mince mine extra small so there's a little bit of everything in each tasty bite.
- Allow cream cheese to soften for easy mixing. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, mayo, garlic powder, dill, salt and pepper.
- For easy rolling, microwave tortillas for 15-20 seconds first. Spread on cream cheese mixture and sprinkle evenly with veggies, cheese, and chopped onion.
- Start at the edge of the tortilla and roll it, tightly, until you reach the opposite side.
- The cream cheese will help it stick. Fasten with a toothpick or two and chill in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.. Feel free to chill overnight in the fridge (tightly wrapped or in a storage container) if making these in advance for easy. meal/snack prep.
- All that's left is to slice into pinwheels and serve!
Notes
- Chill the roll ups in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm them for easier slicing and to maintain their pinwheel shape.
- They can be made the night before and stored tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for convenient snacking or meal prep.
- Microwaving tortillas briefly before spreading helps make rolling easier and prevents tearing.
