Rainbow Veggie Christmas Lights (Print)

Festive pinwheels filled with fresh veggies and creamy spread for vibrant holiday snacks or appetizers.

# Components:

→ Wraps & Spread

01 - 4 large spinach or whole wheat tortillas
02 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - ½ teaspoon salt
06 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Vegetables

07 - ½ red bell pepper, finely diced
08 - ½ yellow bell pepper, finely diced
09 - ½ orange bell pepper, finely diced
10 - 1 small carrot, shredded
11 - ½ cucumber, seeded and finely diced
12 - ½ cup purple cabbage, finely shredded
13 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions

→ Garnish

14 - Fresh parsley or cilantro, finely chopped (optional)

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and spreadable.
02 - Place one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread a quarter of the cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving a ½ inch border around the edges.
03 - Distribute an even layer of each finely diced vegetable—red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, carrot, cucumber, purple cabbage, and chives—over the spread, arranging colors for a festive effect.
04 - Gently press the vegetables into the spread, then roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other.
05 - Repeat the spreading, layering, and rolling process with remaining tortillas and spread. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up for slicing.
06 - Remove plastic wrap and slice each roll into 6 pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and optionally garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
