Festive and colorful tortilla roll-ups filled with cream cheese, roasted peppers, and spinach—perfect for holiday parties and gatherings.

I first served this to my family during the holidays and it was an instant hit with everyone.

Dairy: 225 g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened, 60 g (1/4 cup) sour cream
Vegetables: 1 roasted red bell pepper, diced, 1 small bunch fresh spinach, finely chopped (about 60 g), 2 green onions, finely sliced
Spices & Flavorings: 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
Tortillas: 4 large flour tortillas (25 cm/10-inch diameter)

Step 1:: In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
Step 2:: Stir in roasted red bell pepper, spinach, and green onions.
Step 3:: Season mixture with garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika. Mix well.
Step 4:: Lay out tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a quarter of the filling evenly over each tortilla, leaving a 1 cm (1/2-inch) border.
Step 5:: Roll up tortillas tightly. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour for easier slicing.
Step 6:: Unwrap and cut each tortilla roll into 6 slices using a sharp knife.

Gathering around the table with family enjoying these roll-ups always makes the holidays more special.
