Ingredients
Scale
Wrap and Spread
- 2 10-inch whole grain tortillas (150g)
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened (70g)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (60g)
- 2 tbsp plain yogurt (40g)
Vegetables and Proteins
- 2 medium carrots, grated (115g)
- 6 slices deli turkey meat (106g)
- 1 cup spinach leaves (40g)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, grated carrots, and plain yogurt. Mix thoroughly until a smooth and spreadable filling forms.
- Spread the Filling on Tortillas: Place half of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each whole grain tortilla. Using a knife, spread the filling evenly across the surface of the tortillas, leaving the outer edges clear to facilitate rolling.
- Add Spinach and Turkey: Evenly distribute ½ cup of fresh spinach leaves and 3 slices of deli turkey meat on top of the spread filling on each tortilla.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other to encase the fillings. Once rolled, slice each tortilla roll into 6 equal pieces to create bite-sized roll-ups.
- Chill for Best Results (Optional): For firmer roll-ups that hold together well, wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving. This step helps the cream cheese to set but can be skipped if you prefer to serve immediately.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese to easily blend the spread ingredients together.
- Chilling the roll-ups tightens the filling and makes slicing easier.
- Whole grain tortillas add fiber and nutrients versus regular tortillas.
- Customize with additional veggies or different deli meats as desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
