Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened (use regular or low-fat as preferred)

1 cup baby spinach leaves, washed and thoroughly dried

1 medium carrot, grated

1 medium cucumber, cut into thin slices

1 bell pepper (any color), sliced thinly

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Spread: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a fork or spatula to blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

    Assemble the Tortillas: Place one whole wheat tortilla on a clean, flat surface such as a cutting board. Using a spatula or knife, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the entire tortilla, making sure to reach the edges.

      Add the Veggies: On one edge of the tortilla, layer the baby spinach leaves followed by the grated carrot, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, finely chopped red onion, and chopped parsley. Keep the ingredients in a neat line, leaving about an inch of space on each side to avoid overflow when rolling.

        Roll-Up: Starting from the edge where the vegetable layer is located, carefully begin to roll the tortilla away from you, tucking in the fillings as you go to ensure they stay within. Roll tightly until you reach the opposite edge of the tortilla. Repeat this step for each tortilla.

          Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled tortilla into 1-2 inch pieces to create pinwheel shapes. Arrange the sliced roll-ups neatly on a serving platter for an appealing presentation.

            Chill (Optional): For enhanced flavor and a firmer texture, refrigerate the roll-ups for about 30 minutes before serving. This helps the cream cheese set and allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

              Enjoy: These Cool Veggie Cream Cheese Roll-Ups make for a delightful appetizer, snack, or light lunch. For additional flavor, serve them alongside a side of hummus or a zesty dipping sauce.
