How to Make Fresh Vegetable Tortilla Roll Ups
1️⃣ Prep the Veggies and Filling
Finely dice all vegetables (around ¼-inch pieces or smaller).
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayo, garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
2️⃣ Warm and Fill the Tortillas
Microwave tortillas for 15–20 seconds until slightly warm and pliable.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border.
Sprinkle on the chopped vegetables, shredded cheese, and green onions.
3️⃣ Roll and Chill
Roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other.
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 20 minutes, or overnight for best results.
4️⃣ Slice and Serve
Remove from the fridge and slice into ¾–1-inch pinwheels.
Arrange on a platter, secure with toothpicks if needed, and serve.
Storage Tips
- Keep Fresh: Store wrapped in plastic wrap inside an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Make Ahead: Mix the filling a day in advance and store separately until ready to use.
- Serve Fresh: Slice just before serving for best texture and appearance.
Optional Swaps & Add-Ins
- Veggies: Try cucumber (seeded), cauliflower, corn, or shredded zucchini (squeezed dry).
- Cheese: Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a dairy-free option.
- Cream Cheese: Light cream cheese, goat cheese, or dairy-free alternatives all work.
- Tortillas: Use whole wheat, spinach wraps, or low-carb tortillas—just avoid corn tortillas as they crack easily.
- Mayo Swap: Greek yogurt or sour cream adds tang and a protein boost.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Too Wet: Pat vegetables dry to avoid soggy tortillas.
- Cold Spread: Let cream cheese soften for smooth spreading.
- Overfilling: Less is more—too much filling makes rolling difficult.
- Skipping Chill Time: Chill before slicing for clean, firm pinwheels.
What to Serve With
- For Lunch: Pair with a side salad, fruit, or tortilla chips.
- For Parties: Serve on a platter with ranch dip, salsa, or guacamole.
- For Kids: Add apple slices, pretzels, or hummus for a fun lunchbox.
