Scale
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
Assembly
- 2 large flour tortillas meant for burritos
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables and Ingredients: Choose fresh vegetables—broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper—then chop them finely to ensure each bite is flavorful and balanced. Set aside. Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Mix the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Add garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
- 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. Then, sprinkle the minced vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Roll and Secure the Tortillas: Roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, ensuring the filling stays inside. Use toothpicks to secure the roll if needed. Place the rolls in the freezer for about 20 minutes to set or refrigerate overnight for easier slicing later.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the rolls from the fridge or freezer, discard toothpicks, and cut into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately or chilled as a refreshing snack or light meal.
Notes
- For an extra flavor boost, add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of paprika on the cream cheese mixture.
- If preparing in advance, wrap the rolls tightly in plastic wrap before refrigerating or freezing.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference or what’s available; cucumber or zucchini also work well.
- For a more substantial snack, add cooked chicken or turkey slices inside the roll before rolling.
