Herb Cream Cheese & Turkey Tortilla Rolls

February 6, 2017

Herbed cream cheese & turkey tortilla rolls are the perfect game-day appetizer! Reduced fat cream cheese is combined with green onion, parsley, basil and black olives to create a creamy base, then topped with crunchy veggies and savory roasted turkey. Rolled together in a fiber-rich whole wheat tortilla means you get to snack smart– and it’s delicious too!

You know that moment when you go to a party or get-together and you see your fav snack set out, and you do a little happy dance? That’s how I feel when I see tortilla rolls. My Grandma makes amazing tortilla rolls with lots of cream cheese and crunchy cucumber. Tortilla rolls are the kind of snack that you could just eat endless amounts, kind of like sushi. So addictive. 

They’re even better when you make them a day ahead of time and let them sit overnight in the fridge and the herbs have time to soak their flavor into the cream cheese and the tortilla gets really soft! 

Last week, I demo’d these rolls for my monthly cooking demo at Sprouts in Southlake, Texas and the crowd loved them! A couple kids in attendance told me me they liked these more than the other recipes I demo’d (southwest pasta salad and dill pickle dip)! I suggested they ask their parents to make them tortilla rolls to bring for lunch. Kiddos liked that idea :)

Customize these virtually any way you’d like. Sub out roast beef for the turkey. Take the meat out all together and add extra baby spinach or green leaf lettuce. Experiment with red bell peppers, jalapenos, or add extra cucumber.
