Pinwheels with Cucumbers and Carrots recipe


  • Author: Caroline

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • Fresh herbs (like spinach or dill), optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Base: Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over each whole wheat tortilla. This acts as a flavorful adhesive that holds the ingredients together and adds a creamy texture.
  2. Layer the Vegetables:
    • Arrange thin slices of bell pepper and cucumber evenly over the cream cheese.
    • Add a generous amount of grated carrot for a crunchy texture.
    • If you’re using fresh herbs like spinach or dill, layer them on top of the vegetables for an added burst of flavor.
  3. Season to Taste: Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the layered ingredients to enhance the flavors.
  4. Roll and Slice:
    • Carefully roll each tortilla tightly to ensure the ingredients are securely enclosed.
    • Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled tortillas into pinwheels, approximately 1-inch thick.
