Ingredients
  

8 large whole wheat tortillas

16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped

1 cup bell peppers, finely diced (use a mix of red, yellow, and orange for a vibrant look)

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Optional: 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper for extra spice

Instructions
 

Create the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and chopped chives. Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. If you enjoy a bit of heat, stir in the cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and the cream cheese is smooth.

    Assemble the Roll-Ups: Place a tortilla flat on a clean, dry surface. Using a spatula or a large spoon, spread approximately 1/3 cup of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, keeping about 1-inch clear around the edges to allow for easy rolling.

      Roll It Up: Begin at one end of the tortilla and tightly roll it up around the filling, gently tucking in the sides as you go to secure all the ingredients within. Once rolled, place the seam side down on a cutting board to keep it from unrolling.

        Slice and Arrange: Repeat the rolling process with the remaining tortillas and the cream cheese filling. After all roll-ups are prepared, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, about 1-2 inches thick. Arrange the slices artfully on a serving platter.

          Chill for Refreshing Flavor (Optional): To enhance the flavor and provide a cool, refreshing touch, cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate the roll-ups for approximately 30 minutes before serving.

            Serve and Enjoy: Present the Cool Veggie Cream Cheese Roll-Ups as an appealing appetizer for parties, a tasty snack, or a light lunch option. They’re perfect for sharing!
