Ingredients
Scale
Cream Cheese Mixture
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
Vegetables and Cheese
- 2 cups finely chopped vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers, or olives
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Wraps
- 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas (burrito size)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, dried parsley, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried minced onion. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Add Vegetables and Cheese: Fold in the finely chopped vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese gently into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring the mixture remains evenly combined without mashing the vegetables.
- Spread the Mixture on Tortillas: Working with one tortilla at a time, spread about ½ cup of the prepared cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, going all the way to the edges for maximum flavor and coverage.
- Roll and Wrap: Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape to keep the filling secure. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap to maintain freshness and shape.
- Chill Until Firm: Place all wrapped tortillas in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the rolls to firm up for easier slicing.
- Slice and Serve: Before serving, unwrap each roll and trim any unfilled ends. Slice each tortilla roll into 8 equal pinwheel pieces, arrange on a serving platter, and enjoy as a fresh, flavorful appetizer.
Notes
- Ranch Dressing Mix Substitute: For a convenient variation, use half of a store-bought ranch dressing mix packet (about ½ ounce) as a substitute for the dried herb seasonings. If doubling the recipe, use the entire packet.
- Wrap Options: Substitute 5 (10-inch) tortillas instead of 8 (8-inch) for larger rolls or use square Lavash bread to avoid trimming unfilled ends.
- Yield: This recipe yields 64 pieces (8 tortillas cut into 8 pieces each), enough for 16 servings with 4 pieces per serving.
- Storage: Store any leftover roll ups tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to keep them fresh.
