Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Appetizer
Serves: 8 roll-ups
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup deli meat (e.g., turkey or ham)
- 1/2 cup spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 teaspoon dill weed (optional)
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the cream cheese to make spreading easier.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean, flat work surface.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with dill weed (if using). Mix thoroughly until smooth and evenly blended.
- Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
- Distribute deli meat evenly over the cream cheese layer, ensuring coverage is consistent.
- Arrange fresh spinach leaves on top of the deli meat, creating a uniform layer.
- Sprinkle shredded carrots over the spinach for added texture and color.
- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, creating a compact cylinder.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 2-3 equal segments to create bite-sized appetizers.
- Arrange roll-ups on a serving platter, with the seam side down to maintain their shape.
- For best presentation and flavor, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and rolls to set.
Tips
- Ensure cream cheese is completely softened for smooth, easy spreading
- Don't overfill your tortillas - this can make rolling difficult
- Use room temperature ingredients for the best texture and flavor blending
- Slice roll-ups with a very sharp knife for clean, neat cuts
- Refrigerate briefly before serving to help rolls hold their shape
- Experiment with different deli meats and add-ins to customize your roll-ups
- For a neater presentation, trim the edges of your rolled tortillas before slicing
- Serve chilled or at room temperature for optimal taste and texture
