Ingredients

Scale

(Makes 8–10 roll-ups)

Instructions

1. Prep tortillas:

Warm tortillas 10–15 seconds per side in a dry skillet (or microwave wrapped in damp paper towel 20 sec). This prevents cracking when rolling.

2. Spread & fill:

Lay tortilla flat. Spread 1–2 tbsp chosen spread evenly over surface, leaving ½” border.
Layer vegetables and protein (if using) horizontally across center.

3. Roll tightly:

Fold sides inward over filling.
Roll from bottom to top, tucking filling in as you go.
Wrap tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap.

4. Chill & slice:

Refrigerate at least 30 minutes (helps hold shape). Slice into 1″ pinwheels or serve whole.

💡 Pro Tips for Perfection:
✅ Dry veggies thoroughly—pat cucumbers/cabbage dry to prevent soggy tortillas.
✅ Don’t overfill—too much = bursting rolls. Aim for ⅓ cup filling per tortilla.
✅ Blood sugar friendly (you love this!):
→ Use low-carb tortillas + sugar-free hummus
→ Load up on non-starchy veggies (spinach, cucumber, bell pepper)
→ Net carbs: ~5g/roll-up
✅ High-protein boost (you love this!):
→ Add 2 oz turkey slices + 1 tbsp hemp seeds per roll (+10g protein)
→ Use Greek yogurt spread instead of cream cheese (+5g protein)
✅ Make ahead: Assemble 1 day ahead; store wrapped in airtight container. Best within 24 hours (tortillas soften over time).
✅ Kid-friendly: Use cookie cutters to make fun shapes from pinwheels!
