Veggie Cream Cheese Rolls

 These vegetable roll ups are loaded with creamy cream cheese, fresh herbs and crunchy vegetables. They are perfect to put in a lunch or even have for a snack after work, school or just because.

Making lunches for daily school and work can become quite mundane. I feel the need to switch things up routinely. You understand that, right? The same things each day become a boring routine. It is no different than making dinner.

Of course, there are families that make a weekly schedule. Making these as an addition or substitution for lunches is a great plan. They are so yummy!

Frequently Asked Questions:

What size of tortillas should I use?

I always grab the ones that are burrito sized. They seem to work the best, and it is not like it is too much of any of the ingredients. The ones I use are 8 inches in diameter.

Can I change out the vegetables?

I use celery, red and green pepper and green onions. Once in a while I will slice up cucumber real thin lengthwise and lay them in the center. You could use shaved carrots, radishes, peppers and tomatoes.

It says to chop the vegetables, can I slice them?

In all honesty, I prefer to slice the vegetables, as much as possible. I will slice the peppers thin. I also love cucumbers, so I slice real thin layers of cucumbers. Then I have the cream cheese, ranch seasoning and chopped celery all mixed together and am able to spread this out.

Then I layer the thin sliced vegetables about 1.5 inches apart from each row. This way, I am able to still roll the cream cheese roll and not have big chunks.

Can I add spice to heat it up?

Feel free to add cayenne pepper, chili powder or white pepper or even add liquid red hot sauce to the cream cheese mix. The extent of heat is up to you. You could also just sprinkle a combination of spicy heat on the tortilla before rolling it up.
