Ingredients

• 1 recipe Dairy Free Veggie Cream Cheese Spread
• 1 bell pepper (cut into thin strips) (I used red, but use your favorite or whatever you have)
• 2 carrots (halved and cut into thin strips)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Prepare the Veggies: Begin by washing and preparing the vegetables. Cut the bell pepper into thin strips, halve and slice the carrots, radishes, and cucumber, and set them aside. Wash the arugula and pat it dry with a paper towel.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Spread: If you haven’t already, prepare the Dairy Free Veggie Cream Cheese Spread. This spread will act as the creamy base for the rollups.
3. Assemble the Rollups: Lay out each tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous layer of the dairy-free veggie cream cheese spread evenly across the entire surface of each tortilla.
4. Add the Vegetables: Lay the prepared veggie strips (bell pepper, carrot, radish, cucumber) in the center of each tortilla. Add a handful of arugula on top of the veggies.
5. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll up each tortilla, folding in the sides as you go to create a tight roll. Once rolled, slice the tortillas into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife.
6. Serve: Arrange the tortilla rollups on a serving platter and enjoy!
