Vegetables
- 1 cup diced broccoli
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced red bell pepper
Cream Cheese Mixture
- 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
Tortillas and Toppings
- 2 large flour tortillas meant for burritos
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables and Ingredients: Begin by chopping your favorite vegetables—broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper—into small, uniform dice. Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Mix the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
- Prepare and Fill the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla. Sprinkle diced vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions on top of the spread.
- Roll and Secure the Tortillas: Starting from one edge, roll each tortilla tightly until fully wrapped. Secure the roll with toothpicks if needed. Chill in the freezer for 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight to let the flavors meld and the rolls set.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the toothpicks, slice each rolled tortilla into pinwheels or rounds, and arrange on a platter. Serve as a snack or light meal with your favorite dip or alone.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to the cream cheese filling.
- Chilling the rolls helps them hold their shape better when sliced.
- You can customize the vegetables based on what you have, such as cucumbers, snap peas, or olives.
- This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
