1 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups broccoli and carrots finely chopped
1 cup vegan cheddar cheese shredded
4 flour tortillas 8-inch size
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Stir in the chopped broccoli, carrots, and cheddar cheese until everything is well combined.
Lay out the tortillas flat.
Spread one fourth of the mixture evenly onto each tortilla, reaching all the way to the edges.
Roll each tortilla up tightly, starting from one end.
Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Unwrap the chilled tortillas and slice them into 1-inch rounds.
Enjoy served cold or at room temperature.
Notes
Chilling is Key: Don’t skip the chilling step for the dough. It allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll and ensuring a flakier crust.
Don’t Overwork the Dough: Overmixing the dough can lead to tough pastry. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Even Slicing: For uniform pinwheels, try to slice the dough log as evenly as possible. A serrated knife can sometimes work best for this.
Parchment Paper is Your Friend: Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Check for Doneness: The pinwheels are ready when they are puffed and golden brown. The exact time might vary slightly depending on your oven.
