Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas – whole grain or spinach are great alternatives
• 1 cup cream cheese – try hummus for a healthier swap
• 1 cup shredded carrots – you can use slaw mix as a shortcut
• 1 cup sliced bell peppers – red, yellow, and green for color
• 1 cup cucumber, sliced thin – for that refreshing crunch
• 1 cup spinach or lettuce – feel free to use kale or arugula
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1:

Begin by spreading a generous layer of cream cheese on each tortilla. This not only adds flavor but also acts as a glue to hold your veggies in place.

Step 2:

Next, layer the shredded carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and spinach evenly over the cream cheese-topped tortillas. Don’t be shy, stack them high for a satisfying crunch.

Step 3:

Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the veggies for extra flavor, then carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other.

Step 4:

Slice the rolled tortillas into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a platter. You can drizzle them with your favorite dressing or serve them with a tasty dip on the side. I love pairing them with a light yogurt dip.

Nutritional Information

These Fresh Vegetable Roll Ups are not only tasty but also packed with nutrients. Each serving is loaded with vitamins A and C from the colorful veggies and healthy fats from the cream cheese. Plus, using whole-grain tortillas amps up the fiber content, making it a balanced snack that fuels your day.

Healthier Alternatives

If you’re looking to lighten things up even more, consider using low-fat cream cheese or swapping it out for hummus. You can easily add more veggies like shredded zucchini or even fruits like avocado for a twist. The possibilities are endless and allow you to get creative in your kitchen.

Serving Suggestions

Common Mistakes
