Notes
- Pro tip: Chop your vegetables VERY small for best results. It will be easier to roll up the tortillas and they will hold together better.
- Cream cheese spread: For a shortcut, buy flavored cream cheese and skip all the seasonings. I like chive & onion, or garlic & herb. You could also substitute an 8 ounce block of cream cheese for the spreadable cream cheese. Let it soften on the counter for an hour before you make the spread.
- Variations: There are many types of flour tortillas you can choose from, including whole wheat. Choose which vegetables you want to include. Avoid juicy vegetables such as tomatoes which tend to make the roll up soggy.
