Ingredients
Tortillas
- 4 large flour tortillas
Filling
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup mixed vegetables, finely chopped (such as bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and celery)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or chives, finely chopped (2 tablespoons)

- Spread the filling: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface and evenly spread a quarter of the cream cheese and vegetable mixture over the entire surface, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spilling during rolling.
