Ingredients
Scale
Roll Ups Filling
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened (70g)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (60g)
- 2 medium carrots, grated (115g)
- 2 tbsp plain yogurt (40g)
Wraps
- 2 10-inch whole grain tortillas (150g total)
- 6 slices deli turkey meat (106g)
- 1 cup spinach (40g)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, grated carrots, and plain yogurt. Mix thoroughly until a creamy, spreadable mixture forms.
- Spread the filling on tortillas: Divide the cream cheese filling in half and place each half in the center of a tortilla. Use a knife or spatula to evenly spread the filling around the tortilla, leaving the outer edges clear to make rolling easier.
- Add spinach and turkey: Place ½ cup of fresh spinach evenly over each tortilla’s filling, then layer 3 slices of deli turkey meat on top of the spinach.
- Roll and slice: Tightly roll each tortilla from one edge to the other to enclose the filling. Slice each rolled tortilla into 6 equal pieces for easy serving.
- Optional chilling: For best results, wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling helps the cream cheese harden, allowing the roll ups to hold together better. If desired, you can serve immediately without chilling.
Notes
- You can substitute plain yogurt with Greek yogurt for a thicker texture and added protein.
- Feel free to use flavored cream cheese to enhance the taste, such as herb or garlic-flavored varieties.
- Wraps can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, making them perfect for meal prep.
- For added crunch, consider adding finely chopped nuts or seeds to the filling.
- Use gluten-free tortillas if you want to make this recipe gluten-free.
