Veggie Roll Ups are a tasty riff on that Midwestern classic, veggie pizza. Make the same filling but spread on tortillas instead of crescent rolls so they’re easier to tote along to parties.

Meggan’s notes

These delicious Veggie Roll Ups are the solution to getting my Veggie Pizza fix anytime I want it, even if that’s a potluck, picnic, or office party.

Yes, it has most of the same ingredients and flavors, but the flour tortillas hold everything together until you’re ready to party. Just assemble and wrap the night before, then slice and serve upon your arrival.

At a Glance: Here is a quick snapshot of what ingredients are in this recipe.
Please see the recipe card below for specific quantities.

Ingredient notes

  • Cream cheese and mayonnaise: Flavor this creamy dip base with dried herbs like parsley, dill, onion, and garlic.
  • Ranch dressing mixTo substitute store-bought ranch dressing mix, use ½ of the packet (about ½ ounce) or double the veggie roll ups recipe and use the whole packet.
  • Flour tortillas: Use either 8 (8-inch) or 5 (10-inch) tortillas. Or substitute square Lavash bread for the tortillas (there are no wasted ends that need to be trimmed away if you use a square flatbread).
  • Vegetables: Classic veggie pizza favors broccoli and cauliflower with smaller portions of other chopped or sliced vegetables on top, including carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, scallions, and black olives. Aim for about 2 cups total.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, parsley, dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, and minced onion.

Recipe tips and variations

  • Yield: This recipe yields 64 pieces (8 tortillas cut into 8 pieces each).
  • Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Make ahead: Roll these up the day before you need them, wrap them individually, and store them in the refrigerator. They’re completely effortless to bring to parties, plus you only have to cut up what you need. Any leftovers make a great lunch or snack.
  • Do not overfill: If you’re anything like me, your temptation is layer on as much as you can. But, too many vegetables create air pockets in the roll ups, which prevents them from holding their shape.
  • Mix up your mix-ins: I love the classic toppings from veggie pizza, but you can use any combination you love. Try black olives, jalapeños, tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions, red bell peppers, or any other fresh vegetables you have in your fridge. You can swap out your cheese too: mozzarella,
  • More spreads: I love the flavored cream cheese here, but there are so many ways to flavor veggie pinwheels! Substitute mayo, ranch dressing, sour cream, or mustard for the cream cheese.
  • Mediterranean tortilla pinwheels: Spread your tortillas with Hummus or Olive Tapenade, then layer on fresh spinach, sun-dried tomatoes or roasted bell peppers, shallots, and fresh basil. These are naturally vegan, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you keep tortilla roll ups from getting soggy?

These roll ups don’t get too soggy because they don’t contain any wet ingredients. But, if you are worried about sogginess, line each tortilla with lettuce or spinach leaves before adding your filling.

Can you make wraps the night before?

Yes, in fact, these roll ups were designed to be made ahead. They taste better (and stay together better) after a few hours in the refrigerator.

How long do tortilla roll ups last?

From a food safety perspective, they last for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. From a quality perspective, they are best eaten within a day or two of when you slice them.

  1. I made the spread, but instead of using tortillas, I filled mini baked phyllo pastry cups and then topped with veges and cheese. They were really cute for a wedding shower!5 stars

    1. Susanne, that sounds AMAZING!!! I love those little phyllo cups. I am definitely going to have to try your variation. And so adorable and perfect for a wedding shower! Thanks so much for sharing. 🙂

  2. Hi, looks great! Do you think they would work well with lavash bread? I like how they are squared off for wraps, and the taste, of course. 🙂

    1. They there! I haven’t tried it, but I imagine it would be really good! Probably even better. 🙂 I’ll have to pick some up and give it a try! If you do, I’d love to hear how it goes for you!! Thanks a lot and take care. 🙂

    2. I’ll let you know. Thinking I will make them for my daughter’s party next weekend. Thank you!!

    1. I think they’d be fine! Maybe less crunchy? Slightly less crunchy? I think I am used to the flavor of raw veggies in Vegetable Pizza, but I can’t see any reason why you couldn’t use cooked. As long as they aren’t soggy, I think you’d be fine.

  3. Can you use Greek Yogurt instead of the mayo or cream cheese? Just trying to see if this could fit into my diet! 5 stars

    1. Sure, you can definitely try it! I haven’t tried that myself. I imagine it would change the texture of the spread a lot, but if you like the taste, there’s no reason not to do that!

    1. Hi Holly, you’re right. Powdered buttermilk is made from regular milk. I’m sorry about that!

    1. Hi Cheri, you are the second person to mention that! Does a recipe exist somewhere out there that is like this but with crab? Clearly I need to get cracking on that. Thank you so much!

    1. Thank you so much, Tina! I’m glad you liked them. I think the next time I make them, I’M going to add crab meat too! Best idea ever. 🙂
