Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup grated carrot
- 1/4 cup chopped cucumber (seeded)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or cilantro)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions:
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Beat together until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese for an extra layer of flavor and creaminess.
- Add the vegetables: Fold in the diced red and green bell peppers, grated carrot, chopped cucumber, green onions, and fresh parsley. Mix well until the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.
- Season the mixture: Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the rolls: Lay out the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the vegetable cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, covering the entire surface but leaving a small border at the edges.
- Roll and chill: Starting at one end, roll each tortilla tightly, keeping the filling inside as you roll. Once rolled, wrap each tortilla in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and makes slicing easier.
- Slice and serve: After chilling, remove the tortillas from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into 1-inch thick rounds. Arrange them on a serving platter and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
