Colorful and healthy veggie pinwheel wraps featuring a creamy herb spread and fresh vegetables, perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Large flour tortillas (about 10-inch size; whole wheat or gluten-free options work too)
  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese (plain or herb-flavored)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber, peeled and julienned
  • 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
  • Pickled jalapeños or mild pickles, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Thinly slice the red bell pepper, shred the carrots, julienne the cucumber, and rinse the baby spinach or mixed greens. Slice pickled jalapeños or mild pickles if using.
  3. Lay a large tortilla flat on your workspace. Spread about 3-4 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Arrange the sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, cucumber ribbons, spinach, and pickles in horizontal rows over the spread, keeping layers even but not overloaded.
  5. Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly but gently to avoid squeezing out the filling. Tuck the filling as you roll to form a compact spiral.
  6. Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the spread and make slicing easier.
  7. Unwrap and slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately or pack for lunch.

Notes

If the cream cheese spread is too stiff, microwave for 10 seconds to soften. Chilling the rolled wraps before slicing is crucial to maintain shape and make clean cuts. Use thinly sliced veggies to avoid bulkiness and rolling difficulties. Vegan and gluten-free substitutions are easy to make.
