Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 medium tortilla wraps
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 medium carrot
Instructions
Wash and peel the cucumbers. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Lay a tortilla wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture across the surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Place a layer of baby spinach leaves across the cream cheese spread, followed by a few slices of the cucumber arranged lengthwise. Grate the carrot over the cucumber slices for added color and crunch.
Starting at one end, tightly roll the tortilla into a log, ensuring the ingredients stay tucked inside. Repeat this process for the remaining tortilla wraps.
Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled wraps into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Serve them chilled or at room temperature, arranged on a platter.
