  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
For the Fillings
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • 6 oz thinly sliced turkey or ham (or preferred deli meat)
  • 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced or shredded
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, patted dry and sliced into thin strips
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), drained and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled and sliced into thin strips
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, torn
Optional Add-Ons

  • 1 medium sliced avocado (for a creamy twist)
  • to taste pickled jalapenos (if you want heat)
  • to taste crumbled feta cheese (for a Mediterranean vibe)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Make the Seasoned Cream Cheese Spread by blending softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried dill, black pepper, and salt until smooth. Stir in fresh chives.
  2. Prep all fillings by slicing roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber, and tearing basil. Ensure everything is ready to layer.
  3. Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave for flexibility.
  4. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on each tortilla, leaving a half-inch border.
Assembly
  1. Layer deli meat, cheddar, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber, baby spinach, olives, and basil on the cream cheese spread.
  2. Roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom edge, applying gentle pressure.
  3. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Serving
  1. Slice the roll-ups into 1 to 1.5-inch pieces and arrange on a platter.
  2. Serve cold, immediately after slicing, or refrigerate for up to a day.

Notes

For best results, always warm the tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Pat fillings dry to avoid soggy roll-ups. Chill for at least two hours to set the shape and flavor.
