Amish Vegetable Cream Cheese Tortilla Roll-Ups
🍽️ Makes: 24–32 pinwheels (4–6 servings)
⏱️ Prep Time: 20 minutes
🕒 Chill Time: 1–2 hours (for best slicing)
🧑🍳 Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream or mayonnaise (adds spreadability)
1 tsp ranch seasoning mix (or to taste)
¼ cup finely chopped carrot
¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
¼ cup finely chopped green onion
¼ cup finely chopped celery or cucumber
¼ cup finely chopped broccoli (optional, raw)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional but classic in Amish versions)
Salt & pepper, to taste
4–5 large flour tortillas (10-inch size works best)
Directions
1. Make the Cream Cheese Spread
In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese and sour cream/mayo until smooth.
Stir in the ranch seasoning, then fold in all the finely chopped vegetables and cheddar cheese (if using).
Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
2. Assemble the Roll-Ups
Lay out a flour tortilla on a flat surface.
Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture across the entire tortilla — right to the edges.
Roll up tightly, jelly-roll style. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
3. Chill
Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1–2 hours to firm up. This makes slicing clean and easy.
4. Slice & Serve
Use a sharp serrated knife to slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
Discard (or snack on) the uneven ends.
Arrange on a platter and serve chilled or at room temp.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Not ideal for freezing due to the dairy and veggie texture.
