A colorful, easy-to-make snack featuring fresh veggies and cream cheese rolled into tortillas, perfect for healthy snacking or entertaining.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch size; whole wheat or gluten-free optional)
  • Cream cheese, softened
  • Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Cucumber, peeled and julienned
  • Carrot, peeled and grated or julienned
  • Fresh spinach leaves (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or dill, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder or onion powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Slice bell peppers into thin strips about 2-3 inches long, julienne the cucumber, and grate or julienne the carrot. Set fresh spinach and herbs aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with salt, pepper, and optional garlic or onion powder. Stir in chopped fresh herbs if using.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even, thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
  4. Arrange the sliced veggies and spinach evenly over the cream cheese, distributing colors evenly.
  5. Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla into a tight log, pressing gently to keep everything snug. Tuck in edges if needed.
  6. Wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
  7. Unwrap and cut into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife.
  8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Notes

Pat veggies dry before layering to avoid soggy wraps. Chill rolled wraps before slicing to maintain shape. Use softened cream cheese for easier spreading. Avoid overfilling to prevent bursting. Warm tortillas slightly to increase pliability.
