Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 4 oz cream cheese or 1/2 cup hummus
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup julienned carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup sliced red bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly to ensure freshness. Julienne the carrots, thinly slice the cucumbers and bell peppers, and shred the cheese if using. This preparation sets the stage for quick assembly.
  2. Spread the Base: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of cream cheese or hummus over the entire surface, reaching all edges to add flavor and act as a binder for the fillings.
  3. Layer the Vegetables: Arrange spinach leaves first, then layer carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers evenly. Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs and grated cheese on top if desired for added flavor and texture.
  4. Roll Up Tightly: Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla as tightly as possible to prevent fillings from spilling out. Use gentle pressure to compact the roll, which helps it maintain shape during cutting and serving.
  5. Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled tortilla into 1 to 1.5-inch pinwheels. Arrange them attractively on a plate or platter for serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh tortillas to prevent cracking while rolling.
  • Do not overfill to avoid bursting when slicing.
  • Chill the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before cutting for cleaner slices.
  • Use a very sharp knife to create neat pinwheels without squashing the roll.
  • Experiment with different spreads like flavored cream cheese or herb-infused hummus for varied tastes.
