These easy creamy veggie pinwheels are a quick, healthy, and delicious snack or lunchbox treat featuring a creamy spread with fresh, finely chopped veggies rolled in soft tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium carrot, finely grated
  • ½ cucumber, deseeded and finely diced
  • ½ red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped (about 15 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dill, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all fresh produce. Finely grate the carrot, dice the cucumber and bell pepper, thinly slice the green onions, and chop the spinach and herbs.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold the chopped veggies and herbs gently into the creamy mixture until evenly distributed.
  4. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even ¼ inch thick layer of the creamy veggie mixture over the entire surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a log, keeping it snug but not too tight to avoid squeezing out the filling.
  6. Wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
  7. Once chilled, slice into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing to ensure smooth spreading. Finely chop or grate veggies to prevent tearing tortillas. Chill pinwheels before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use a serrated knife to slice. Pinwheels keep well wrapped in the fridge for up to 2 days and can be frozen for up to 1 month.
