Ingredients
4ouncesCream cheesesoftened
1/2cupSour cream
1/4tspGarlic powder
¼tspOnion powder
¼teaspoonDilldried
¼teaspoonSalt
⅛teaspoonPepper
1/4cupSharp cheddar cheeseshredded
½cupBroccoli
½cupBell pepper
½cupCarrotsshredded, about 1 medium sized carrot or 6 baby carrots
3 8 - Inch Tortillas
Instructions
Cut the cream cheese into cubes and allow it to soften on the counter. Add the sour cream and mix the cream cheese and sour cream together until the cream cheese is smooth.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, dill, sailt and pepper to the cheese mixture and mix well. Mix in shredded cheddar cheese.
Dice the broccoli and bell pepper, and shred the carrots into small pieces.
Lay the tortillas out on a cutting board. Spread each tortilla with ⅓ of the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle the vegetables evenly between the tortillas on top of the cheese spread.
Roll the tortillas tightly. Use a few toothpicks to keep them rolled tight. Placing the rollups in the freezer for at least 10-15 minutes allows the spread to firm up and makes it easier to slice.
With a sharp knife, cut the tortilla into rolls that are about an inch thick. Each tortilla makes about six full slices. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
These pinwheels are best when eaten immediately but can be kept in the fridge for about 24 hours. They are great to prep ahead for the next day.
If not eating these pinwheels within 24 hours, I recommend storing the spread separately and rolling right before slicing. This helps keep the tortilla from absorbing too much moisture and keeps the vegetables crisp.
If using a mild cheddar cheese I suggest using about 1/2 cup so you can taste the flavor instead of 1/4 cup.
Whipped cream cheese can usually be used with half as much sour cream. Or you can also purchase a cream cheese with herbs already inside and just add the vegetables to the wraps.
