Ingredients
Scale
Vegetable Mixture
- 1 cup diced vegetables: broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper
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
Roll Ups
- 2 large flour tortillas meant for burritos
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Spread: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Dice the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper into small, uniform pieces to allow for easy rolling and consistent texture in every bite.
- Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay out each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the prepared cream cheese mixture over the surface of each tortilla, covering almost to the edges.
- Add the Filling: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese spread, followed by the diced vegetables and sliced green onions. Make sure the toppings are distributed evenly for balanced flavor.
- Roll the Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla up tightly from one edge to the other, forming a compact log. Ensure the filling stays inside and the tortilla is snugly wrapped.
- Chill and Serve: Place the rolled tortillas seam side down in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow flavors to meld. Once chilled, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels to serve as bite-sized appetizers or snacks.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and spreading.
- Feel free to substitute or add other fresh vegetables such as cucumbers or cherry tomatoes for variation.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and mayonnaise.
- The roll ups can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered in the fridge to save preparation time.
- To serve at a party, arrange pinwheels on a platter and garnish with extra green onions or fresh herbs.
