Perfectly customizable and kid-friendly, they are ready in under 20 minutes and ideal for snacks, appetizers, or picnic additions.

Ingredients

Base

  • Flour Tortillas (whole wheat recommended for extra fiber)
  • Cream Cheese or Hummus (for spreading)

Vegetables

  • Shredded Carrots
  • Cucumber Strips
  • Bell Peppers (red, yellow, and green)
  • Leafy Greens (spinach or romaine)
  • Fresh Herbs (parsley or cilantro)

Optional Add-ins

  • Sliced Avocado
  • Shredded Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
  • Turkey Slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Vegetables: Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly. Slice cucumbers, bell peppers, and other crunchy veggies into thin strips or matchsticks for easy rolling and even texture.
  2. Spread the Base: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a generous, even layer of cream cheese, hummus, or your preferred spread across the entire surface reaching the edges to hold the roll ups together.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: Arrange shredded carrots, cucumber strips, bell pepper slices, leafy greens, and fresh herbs in a single, even layer on top of the spread, distributing them evenly to make rolling smooth and prevent gaps.
  4. Roll it Up Tightly: Starting at one edge, roll the tortilla tightly yet gently to keep all ingredients inside. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 1 to 2-inch pieces according to your serving preference.
  5. Serve or Store: Arrange the roll ups on a plate and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to enjoy. They stay fresh for a few hours, perfect for on-the-go snacking.

Notes

  • Use very fresh vegetables to ensure the roll ups stay crunchy and fresh longer.
  • Don’t overfill the tortillas to prevent tearing or difficulty rolling.
  • Chill the rolled tortillas for 10-15 minutes before slicing to achieve cleaner cuts.
  • Choose soft, flexible tortillas to avoid cracking and keep roll ups intact.
  • Add a thin layer of dressing or spread to help bind ingredients without sogginess.
