Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Cream Base
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Herbs and Spices
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
Vegetables
- 2 cups finely chopped vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers, or olives
Wraps
- 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas (burrito size)
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, dried parsley, dried minced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill weed. Mix together thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Fold in vegetables and cheese: Gently fold the finely chopped vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution without breaking down the vegetables.
- Spread mixture on tortillas: Take one tortilla at a time and spread about ½ cup of the cream cheese and veggie mixture evenly over the entire surface, reaching all the way to the edges to ensure full coverage.
- Roll and wrap: Roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Wrap it securely in plastic wrap to maintain shape and freshness.
- Repeat for remaining tortillas: Continue spreading, rolling, and wrapping with the remaining tortillas and cream cheese mixture until all are prepared.
- Chill: Refrigerate the wrapped roll ups for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow flavors to meld and the filling to firm up for easier slicing.
- Slice and serve: When ready to serve, unwrap each roll up, trim any unfilled ends, and slice each tortilla roll into 8 equal bite-sized pieces for serving.
Notes
- Ranch Dressing Mix Substitute: To substitute with store-bought ranch dressing mix, use about half the packet (approximately ½ ounce), or double the recipe and use the whole packet.
- Flour Tortilla Options: Use either eight 8-inch flour tortillas or five 10-inch tortillas. Alternatively, square Lavash bread can be used instead to avoid trimming ends.
- Yield: This recipe yields approximately 64 pieces (8 tortillas cut into 8 pieces each).
- Storage: Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
