Ingredients
Scale
Vegetable Mix
- 1 cup diced vegetables: broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper
Cream Cheese Spread
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Assembly
- 2 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Spread: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Spread on Tortillas: Lay out the two large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each tortilla, ensuring a consistent layer.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese spread on the tortillas. Then distribute the diced vegetables (broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper) evenly on top of the cheese layer.
- Top with Green Onions: Scatter the sliced green onions over the layered ingredients to add a fresh, mild onion flavor.
- Roll the Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form compact rolls. Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap to maintain shape.
- Chill: Place the wrapped tortillas in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and makes slicing easier.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pieces. Serve chilled as a refreshing appetizer or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangier and lighter option.
- Feel free to add other diced vegetables such as cucumbers or cherry tomatoes for variety.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
- These roll ups can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Use sharp cheddar or mild cheddar cheese based on your preference.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and smoother spreading.
