Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
4 large flour tortillas (10–12 inch burrito size)
2 cups fresh spinach or romaine lettuce, washed and dried
1 large red bell pepper, julienned into thin strips
1 large yellow or orange bell pepper, julienned
1 English cucumber, seeded and julienned
1 large carrot, shredded or julienned
1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
1/4 red onion, very thinly sliced
4–6 radishes, thinly sliced (optional)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
Red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
Everything bagel seasoning or Italian seasoning
Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and lemon juice. Mix in garlic powder, dill, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Fold in chives if using. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
2. Wash all vegetables thoroughly and pat completely dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner for greens. This step is crucial to prevent soggy roll-ups.
3. Julienne bell peppers, cucumber (seeds removed), and carrots into thin, uniform matchstick strips. Thinly slice radishes and red onion. Slice avocado just before assembling.
4. Lay one tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread about 1/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
5. Place a layer of spinach or romaine lettuce over the cream cheese, covering about 3/4 of the tortilla and leaving the far edge bare.
6. Arrange vegetables in horizontal rows across the lower third of the tortilla: bell peppers, cucumber, carrots, avocado, red onion, and radishes. Don’t overfill.
7. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the vegetables. Add a light drizzle of olive oil and a few drops of vinegar. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and everything bagel seasoning.
8. Starting from the edge closest to you, fold the tortilla over the vegetables and tuck in the filling. Continue rolling tightly away from you until completely rolled. The bare edge will seal the roll-up.
9. Wrap the completed roll-up tightly in plastic wrap, placing it seam-side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
10. Refrigerate wrapped roll-ups for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours to set and firm up.
11. When ready to serve, remove plastic wrap and trim both ends with a sharp knife. Slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels (6-8 pieces per roll-up), wiping the knife clean between cuts.
12. Arrange pinwheels cut-side up on a platter to showcase the colorful spiral pattern. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
Pat all vegetables completely dry before assembling—moisture is the enemy of crisp roll-ups!
Remove seeds from cucumbers and use tomatoes sparingly to avoid excess liquid.
Room temperature tortillas are more pliable and less likely to crack when rolling.
Don’t overfill! A thin, even layer rolls more successfully than a thick pile.
The chilling step is crucial—it allows the roll-up to hold its shape when sliced.
Whole unsliced roll-ups stay fresh for up to 3 days wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
Pre-sliced pinwheels are best consumed within 1-2 days.
For party appetizers, make multiple varieties with different flavor profiles and arrange by color.
Vegan option: Replace cream cheese with cashew cream or hummus and skip the cheese.
Low-carb option: Use large lettuce leaves or low-carb tortillas instead of regular flour tortillas.
Add protein by including chickpeas, black beans, or pressed tofu.
