Ingredients
Scale
- 6-inch flour tortillas (soft and pliable)
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz (225 g) thinly sliced deli turkey breast (nitrate-free preferred)
- 1 cup rainbow bell peppers (red, yellow, orange), thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed and stems removed
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- Fresh herbs (parsley or dill, optional)
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Place 8 oz (225 g) of softened cream cheese in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Thinly slice 1 cup of mixed red, yellow, and orange bell peppers into matchstick-sized strips. Shred ½ cup of carrots finely and rinse 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves, removing any thick stems.
- Place one 6-inch tortilla flat on a clean surface. If tortillas feel stiff, warm them slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds wrapped in a damp towel.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons (30 g) of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla, going right to the edges.
- Layer about 1.5 ounces (45 g) of turkey evenly over the cream cheese, ensuring slices lie flat.
- Place a small handful of the sliced bell peppers, carrots, and spinach in a neat line across the tortilla. Add fresh herbs if using.
- Starting from the edge closest to you, gently but firmly roll the tortilla away from you, tucking in the filling as you go. Keep the roll tight but not too tight.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, cut each roll-up into 3 or 4 bite-sized pieces. Arrange colorful side up on a serving platter.
Notes
Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before spreading for best texture. Warm tortillas slightly if stiff to prevent cracking. Use a serrated knife to slice roll-ups cleanly without squishing. Roll-ups can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated up to 24 hours; slice fresh before serving to keep veggies crisp. Avoid freezing as texture will degrade.
