Ingredients
  

  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers red, yellow, and green
  • 1/2 cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  2. Layer a handful of baby spinach leaves over the cream cheese.
  3. Evenly distribute the shredded carrots, diced bell peppers, and cucumber slices on top of the spinach.
  4. Sprinkle chopped herbs over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla away from you, keeping the filling inside.
  6. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the pinwheel into 1-inch pieces. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled option.
