Fresh Vegetable Tortilla Roll Ups

Print Recipe

A vibrant and fresh dish featuring rolled tortillas filled with assorted vegetables and cream cheese. Perfect for gatherings or a nutritious snack.

Ingredients

  • Large Flour Tortillas (3-4 pieces)
  • Cream Cheese (8 oz)
  • Bell Peppers (1 red, 1 yellow)
  • Carrots (1-2 medium)
  • Cucumber (1 medium)
  • Fresh Spinach (1 cup)
  • Avocado (1 ripe)
  • Fresh Herbs (1/4 cup; dill, chives, or parsley)
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by washing all your vegetables thoroughly. Slice the bell peppers into thin strips, julienne the carrots, and slice the cucumber into thin sheets. If you want to make life easier, use a mandoline slicer for those veggies!
  2. Mix the Cream Cheese: In a small bowl, whip the cream cheese until it’s soft and spreadable. You can add a pinch of salt and pepper and even a dash of lemon juice for a little extra zing!
  3. Assemble the Tortillas: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Using a spatula or a butter knife, spread a generous layer of cream cheese evenly across the tortilla, leaving about an inch at the edges to avoid overflow.
  4. Layer Your Veggies: Start layering your sliced veggies! Lay down the fresh spinach first, followed by the bell peppers, carrots, cucumbers, and avocado. Remember, you want balance and color here, so feel free to mix it up!
  5. Roll It Up: Time to roll! Starting from one end, gently lift the edge of the tortilla over the filling and begin to roll tightly. Be sure not to overstuff, or it might burst out. Keep rolling until you reach the end, then give it a gentle press to seal.
  6. Slice and Serve: With a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces—around 1-2 inches works nicely. Make sure to slice straight down to maintain that beautiful filling show-off!
  7. Plating: Arrange the roll ups on a platter, and consider drizzling a little balsamic glaze or serving with a tangy dipping sauce on the side. A sprinkle of fresh herbs or edible flowers can elevate the presentation even more!

Notes

Serve with hummus or tzatziki for dipping, or pair with a refreshing salad.
