04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

→ Wraps
13 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)
# Directions:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
02 - Add the finely chopped red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, grated carrot, diced cucumber, green onions, and parsley to the cream mixture. Stir gently to evenly combine.
03 - Place each flour tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or work surface.
04 - Spread one-fourth of the vegetable mixture evenly onto each tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch bordering the edges.
05 - Tightly roll up each filled tortilla, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
06 - Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled tortilla into 1-inch pieces.
07 - Arrange the roll ups on a platter for immediate serving, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- This is the kind of appetizer you can make with barely any planning (and barely any mess).
- It delivers a punch of color and flavor that always looks irresistible on a party platter.
02 -
- If the tortillas are too cold, they’ll crack instead of roll (pop them in the microwave for a few seconds first).
- Letting the filled rolls chill for thirty minutes makes slicing much neater and tidier.
03 -
- Softened cream cheese makes all the difference—cold cheese will never blend smooth with the other ingredients.
- A sharp serrated knife won’t crush the rolls as you slice, giving you cleaner bites and prettier presentation.
