Colorful and creamy pinwheel wraps featuring fresh cream cheese and a rainbow of crisp veggies, perfect for a quick snack or light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped (or parsley)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned
  • 1 small cucumber, seeded and cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach leaves (packed)
  • 1/4 cup purple cabbage, thinly shredded (optional)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch/25 cm) or whole wheat, spinach, or sun-dried tomato wraps

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, chopped chives, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  2. Rinse all fresh veggies under cold water. Thinly slice bell peppers and cucumber into 2-3 inch strips. Julienne the carrot into matchstick-thin pieces. Shred purple cabbage if using. Lay spinach leaves flat and dry gently.
  3. Place one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Warm in microwave for 10 seconds if stiff.
  4. Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edges.
  5. Layer veggies evenly on top of cream cheese starting with spinach, then bell peppers, carrot, cucumber, and cabbage.
  6. Roll the tortilla tightly from one edge without squishing the veggies. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper.
  7. Refrigerate wrapped roll for at least 30 minutes to set the cream cheese and make slicing easier.
  8. Unwrap and slice into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife. Arrange on a serving platter.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for easy spreading. Thin, uniform veggie slices help keep rolls tight. Chill wraps before slicing for cleaner cuts. Warm tortillas briefly if stiff. Pat veggies dry if watery to avoid soggy wraps.
