Introduction

These Vegetable Cream Cheese Tortilla Roll Ups are a fresh and flavorful snack that’s perfect for any time of day. Packed with crunchy veggies and creamy cheese, they make a delicious appetizer or light lunch. Easy to prepare and great for meal prep!

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. Mince them small so each bite has a bit of everything.
2. Step 2: Allow the cream cheese to soften for easy 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 rolling easier. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla, then sprinkle with chopped veggies, grated cheddar, and green onion.
4. Step 4: Starting at one edge, roll each tortilla tightly to the opposite side. The cream cheese will help it stick together.
5. Step 5: Secure with toothpicks if needed and chill in the freezer for 20 minutes to set. You can also chill overnight in the fridge, tightly wrapped or in a container, for convenient meal prep.
6. Step 6: Slice the roll ups into pinwheels and serve chilled.

Tips & Variations

• Try adding different veggies like cucumber or spinach for new flavors and crunch.
• Use flavored cream cheese, such as garlic herb or chive, to elevate the taste.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and cheddar with vegan alternatives.

Vegetable Cream Cheese Filling

• 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

Assembly

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

Instructions

1. Prep the Veggies: Choose your favorite vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper and chop them finely so every bite has a mix of flavors and textures.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Spread: Let the cream cheese soften for easier mixing. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well blended.
3. Warm the Tortillas: Microwave the tortillas for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable and easier to roll without cracking.
4. Assemble the Roll Ups: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla. Then sprinkle the chopped veggies, grated cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions over the spread.
5. Roll and Chill: Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly to the opposite side. The cream cheese spread will help it stick together. Secure with toothpicks if needed and chill in the freezer for 20 minutes to set. Alternatively, wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight for convenient meal prep.
6. Slice and Serve: Remove toothpicks and slice the roll into bite-sized pinwheels. Serve chilled for a fresh, creamy snack or appetizer.

Notes

• For best results, mince the vegetables very finely so the roll ups are easy to bite into.
• Chilling in the freezer for 20 minutes firms up the roll ups, but overnight refrigeration also works well.
• Feel free to customize vegetables according to your preference or seasonal availability.
• You can replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
• Wrap leftovers tightly to keep the roll ups fresh for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
