Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 cup chopped veggies: broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper
Spread
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ⅓ cup mayo
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp dried dill
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
Roll Up
- 2 large burrito-sized flour tortillas
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2 TBSP chopped green onion
Instructions
- Prepare the Veggies: Choose and chop your veggies finely, mincing them extra small to ensure each bite has a flavorful mix of broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper.
- Mix the Spread: Soften the cream cheese to room temperature for easy mixing. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well incorporated.
- Warm the Tortillas: For easier rolling, microwave the flour tortillas for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Assemble the Roll Ups: Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla. Sprinkle the chopped veggies, grated cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions evenly on top of the spread.
- Roll the Tortillas: Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly all the way to the other side. The cream cheese spread helps seal the roll so it holds together well.
- Chill to Set: Secure each roll up with one or two toothpicks to keep them intact. Place the roll ups in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up, making them easier to slice into pinwheels. Alternatively, you can chill them overnight tightly wrapped in the fridge for meal prepping.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled and set, remove the toothpicks, slice the rolls into pinwheels, and serve immediately as a tasty, colorful appetizer or snack.
Notes
- The 20-minute chill time is essential for easy slicing and to maintain the pinwheel shape.
- You can prepare these roll ups the night before and store them in the fridge, tightly wrapped or in a container, for convenient snacking or meal prep.
