Ingredients
Scale
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 & Cheese
- 2 cups finely chopped vegetables (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 the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, dried parsley, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried minced onion. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended.
- Add vegetables and cheese: Fold in the finely chopped vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
- Spread the mixture on tortillas: Working with one tortilla at a time, spread about ½ cup of the cream cheese and vegetable mixture evenly over the tortilla surface, extending all the way to the edges for full coverage.
- Roll and wrap: Roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape, then wrap it securely in plastic wrap to hold its shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and mixture.
- Chill the roll ups: Place the wrapped tortillas in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.
- Slice and serve: Before serving, unwrap the roll ups and trim any unfilled ends. Slice each tortilla roll into 8 equal bite-sized pieces and arrange on a platter for serving.
Notes
- Note 1: Using dried parsley adds a subtle herb flavor but fresh parsley can be substituted if preferred—just adjust quantity to about 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
- Note 2: Burrito-size tortillas (8-inch) work well because they are large enough to hold the filling while still producing bite-sized slices when cut.
- These roll ups can be made a day ahead to save time and enhance flavor.
- If you desire a lower fat option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and mayonnaise.
