FAQs

Can I make vegetable tortilla roll ups ahead of time?

Yes. They actually taste even better after chilling for a few hours, making them ideal for parties and meal prep.

How do I keep the roll ups from getting soggy?

Pat all vegetables dry with paper towels before mixing them into the filling, and avoid watery vegetables without draining them first.

Can I use whole wheat tortillas?

Absolutely. Whole wheat tortillas work just as well and add extra fiber.

Can I freeze tortilla roll ups?

Freezing isn’t recommended because the fresh vegetables and cream cheese filling can become watery after thawing.

What other vegetables can I add?

Broccoli, shredded cabbage, green onions, zucchini, corn, celery, or diced olives are all great additions.

What dipping sauces go well with these?

Ranch dressing, chipotle mayo, garlic aioli, hummus, tzatziki, or a creamy avocado dip are all delicious options.
