How to Make the Recipe
Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of making these delicious Fresh Vegetable Tortilla Roll Ups:
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Stir in the diced vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is fully incorporated.
- Spread the Filling on Tortillas: Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread half of the cream cheese and vegetable mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Roll Up the Tortilla: Starting from one edge, tightly roll up the tortilla into a compact roll. Repeat with the second tortilla and the remaining filling.
- Chill and Slice: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set. Once set, slice each roll into 1-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife.
- Serve: Arrange the Fresh Vegetable Tortilla Roll Ups on a serving platter or individual plates. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some helpful tips to ensure your Fresh Vegetable Tortilla Roll Ups turn out perfectly:
- Use the largest flour tortillas you can find, as they are easier to roll and slice evenly.
- If the cream cheese is too stiff, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing.
- For a crunchier texture, you can add some chopped nuts or seeds to the filling mixture.
- Letting the rolled tortillas chill in the fridge will help them hold their shape when slicing.

- As a quick and easy snack on its own.
- As part of a charcuterie board or appetizer platter.
- Alongside a fresh green salad for a light lunch.
