Back-to-School Veggie Cream Cheese Tortilla Roll-Ups

  • Author: Natalia
  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Description

Quick and easy veggie cream cheese tortilla roll-ups perfect for busy weeknights and lunchboxes. These roll-ups sneak in fresh veggies with creamy cheese in a kid-friendly, colorful snack or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup grated carrot (about 120g)
  • 1 medium cucumber, deseeded and finely chopped (about 150g)
  • ½ medium red bell pepper, finely diced (about 75g)
  • 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste (about ½ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper)
  • Optional add-ins: avocado slices, ½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella, chopped spinach or baby kale

Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies: peel and grate the carrot, deseed and finely chop the cucumber and red bell pepper, slice the green onions thinly, and chop the fresh dill or parsley.
  2. Mix the cream cheese filling: in a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs. Stir until smooth. Add grated carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, and green onions and mix gently but thoroughly.
  3. Spread and roll: lay a tortilla flat, spread 2-3 tablespoons of the cream cheese veggie mixture evenly over the entire surface. Roll the tortilla tightly but gently. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  4. Chill and slice (optional): wrap roll-ups in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up. Slice each roll into 1- to 1½-inch pinwheels with a sharp knife.
  5. Serve immediately as a light dinner, snack, or pack for school lunches.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for easier spreading. Deseed cucumbers and peppers to avoid sogginess. Roll tortillas tightly but gently to prevent tearing. These roll-ups keep well in the fridge for up to 2 days. Serve cold or at room temperature; reheating is not recommended.
