Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 small cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • A handful of baby spinach leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional add-ins: sliced olives, sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced deli meat

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add 2 tablespoons each of finely chopped dill and chives, plus 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Whip until smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Place 4 large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread about 1/4 cup of the creamy cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla, covering all the way to the edges.
  3. Arrange thin slices of cucumber (about 1/2 small per tortilla), red bell pepper strips, shredded carrots (about 2 tablespoons per wrap), and a handful of baby spinach leaves evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Starting from one edge, roll each tortilla up snugly but carefully to keep the filling inside. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
  5. Remove the wraps from the fridge and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll crosswise into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
  6. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter. If desired, secure with toothpicks for easy grabbing. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to eat.

Notes

Pat watery veggies like cucumbers dry before layering to avoid soggy wraps. Chilling the rolled tortillas for at least 20 minutes before slicing helps them hold their shape and makes cutting cleaner. Use a serrated knife if your knife isn’t sharp to avoid squashing the rolls. Softened cream cheese spreads more easily and prevents tearing the tortillas.
