Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 cup diced vegetables: broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper
Cream Cheese Filling
- 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 (burrito size)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables and Ingredients: Begin by choosing your fresh vegetables—broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper—and dice them finely to ensure each bite has a mix of flavors. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Mix the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
- Prepare and Fill the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla, then sprinkle the diced vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions over the top.
- Roll and Secure the Tortillas: Starting at one edge, roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. The cream cheese will help hold the roll together. Use one or two toothpicks to secure each roll. Chill the rolls in the freezer for 20 minutes to set, or wrap and refrigerate overnight if preparing ahead.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the toothpicks and cut each roll into pinwheel slices. Arrange on a platter and serve as a tasty snack or light meal.
Notes

- These roll-ups can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- Try adding other vegetables like cucumbers or spinach for variation.
- Serve with a dipping sauce such as ranch or salsa for extra flavor.
