Ingredients
Tip: you’ll find full ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below
-
1 cup diced vegetables (broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper)
-
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
-
2 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
-
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables and Ingredients
Start by selecting your vegetables. Dice the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution in each bite. Mince them finely for the best texture and consistency. Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature so it softens, making it easier to mix.
Step 2: Mix the Cream Cheese Filling
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Add the garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This creamy filling will help bind the vegetables to the tortillas.
Step 3: Prepare and Fill the Tortillas
To make rolling easier, warm the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface of each tortilla. Sprinkle the diced vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions on top of the cream cheese layer.
Step 4: Roll and Secure the Tortillas
Start at one edge of each tortilla and roll it tightly toward the opposite side. The cream cheese mixture will help the tortilla stay rolled. Once rolled, secure the tortilla with toothpicks to prevent it from unraveling. To ensure the rolls firm up, place them in the freezer for 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can refrigerate them overnight in a tightly wrapped container for easy meal prep.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
After the rolls have set, remove the toothpicks and slice each roll into bite-sized pinwheels. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.

Heating and Storage
These Vegetable Tortilla Roll-Ups can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just wrap them tightly to keep them fresh. They can be served cold, or if you prefer, you can gently warm them in a pan for a crispy exterior before slicing.
