Ingredients
Scale
- Large flour tortillas
- 4 ounces (115 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- Thinly sliced red bell pepper
- Shredded or thinly sliced carrots
- Baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
Instructions
- Wash and dry the baby spinach thoroughly.
- Thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips about 1/4 inch thick.
- Shred or slice the carrots into thin sticks roughly the same size as the bell pepper strips.
- Place cream cheese in a bowl and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften. Whip slightly until smooth and spreadable.
- Lay a large tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese over the tortilla, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Arrange the bell pepper strips, carrot sticks, and spinach leaves evenly across the cream cheese layer, avoiding piling too thickly.
- Carefully roll the tortilla from the veggie edge to the opposite side, pressing firmly but gently to keep it snug.
- Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.
- Remove from fridge, unwrap, and slice into 1-inch thick rounds using a sharp serrated knife.
- Arrange on a plate and serve immediately or pack for lunch.
Notes
If tortillas crack while rolling, warm them in the microwave for 10 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel to make them more pliable. Chilling the rolled wrap before slicing is key to prevent pinwheels from falling apart. Softening cream cheese properly ensures smooth spreading without tearing the tortilla. Slice veggies uniformly for easier rolling and neat presentation.
