Ingredients
  

8 large whole wheat tortillas

16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup fresh spinach leaves, finely chopped

1 cup assorted bell peppers (red, yellow, and orange), finely diced for a vibrant mix

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Optional: 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, shredded carrots, thinly sliced cucumber, and chopped chives. Add the garlic powder and onion powder for extra flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you enjoy a bit of heat, stir in the cayenne pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well integrated.

    Assemble the Roll-Ups: Take a tortilla and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface such as a cutting board. Using a spatula or a knife, spread a generous layer (approximately 1/3 cup) of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving about a 1-inch border at the edges to facilitate easy rolling.

      Roll It Up: Begin at one end of the tortilla and tightly roll it over the cream cheese mixture. As you roll, tuck the sides in to secure the filling and maintain a neat appearance. Once fully rolled, place the seam side down on the cutting board to prevent it from unraveling.

        Slice and Serve: Continue this process with the remaining tortillas and filling. Once all roll-ups are assembled, slice each one into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 2 inches thick. Arrange the colorful slices on a serving platter in an attractive pattern.

          Chill (Optional): For an extra refreshing bite, cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate the roll-ups for about 30 minutes. This step enhances the flavors and makes them even cooler to enjoy.

            Enjoy: Serve the Cool Veggie Cream Cheese Roll-Ups as a delightful party appetizer, a light lunch, or a healthy snack. Watch them disappear at any gathering!
