    It is getting hot out here and weekends are more and more about spending time outside. Finger foods, potlucks and picnic meal planning! These tortilla roll ups work out perfectly for either. They need just 20 mins of active time and some time to chill.

    These vegan cream cheese tortilla roll ups use a quick creamy filling with herbs, veggies, sun dried tomato, all mixed into a tofu cream cheese like mix. The vegan cream cheese uses just a few ingredients. Just process everything in a food processor. Add some chopped veggies such as peppers or other veggies of choice. Mix in, spread, roll up and chill, then slice and done! Change up the herbs and flavors for variation. See Recipe notes for non soy and no gluten options!

    Ingredients used for Vegan Tortilla Roll ups Recipe

    • I use firm tofu for a quick vegan cream cheese. along with the ingredients to add tang and cream cheese like flavor such as lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, nutritional yeast for cheesyness and some herbs such as dill and basil for herbed cream cheese. Firm Tofu varies depending on brand. Some are softer and holds more moisture, while some are crumbly and dryer. For the more water content tofu, Squeeze the tofu lightly between paper towels to remove the excess water, so that its not dropping moisture when you hold and then use. For Soyfree, use store bough vegan cream cheese that is non soy based or use cashews.
    • Veggies such as green and red bell pepper, spring onion work really well with the herbed cream cheese. Carrots, cucumber and other veggies also work.
    • Sun dried tomatoes add additional flavor and texture.
    • some fresh greens such as baby spinach or basil, add color to the roll ups.
    • Large tortillas, are easy to roll and slice. See Recipe notes for recipe for my gluten-free tortillas.

    Step by Step Photos:

    Assemble the ingredients, chop the veggies and keep ready. Process the ingredients for cream cheese until silky and smooth. Taste and adjust flavor.

    Tips for Vegan Tortilla Roll Ups Recipe

    • Process the cream cheese mixture until very smooth.
    • Chop the veggies small enough so that they dont make bulky roll ups, but not too small as well and very finely chopped veggies will leak too much moisture into the filling making it messier and harder to slice.
    • Let the rolls up chill for a few hours before slicing.
    • Use a serrated knife to slice

    How to store Vegan Tortilla Roll ups

    • The Tofu Cream Cheese can be made ahead and stored refrigerated for upto 3 days
    • The rolled up Tortilla can also be stored in the refrigerator for upto 3 days.

    Ingredients

    For the Cream cheese filling:

    • 8 oz (226.8 g) firm tofu , lightly squeezed to remove excess flowing water, sliced, (see notes for soyfree)
    • 1.5 tbsp lemon juice
    • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) garlic powder
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) onion powder
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) salt
    • 1 tsp dill
    • 1 tsp dried basil
    • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast

    Veggies:

    • 1/4 cup (37.25 g) finely chopped green pepper
    • 1/4 cup (37.25 g) finely chopped red bell pepper
    • 1/4 cup (25 g) chopped spring onion
    • 1/4 cup (59.15 g) finely chopped sun-dried tomato , dry , not packed in oil
    • 1/2 cup (15 g) baby spinach or basil or other fresh herbs

    Roll ups:

    • 2 large tortillas , gluten-free if needed (see notes for recipe for my gluten-free tortillas)

    Instructions

    • Squeeze the tofu between paper towels to remove the excess water and slice. Add the cream cheese ingredients in a small food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Taste and adjust flavor (salt, tang, add a pinch of sugar to balance if needed)
    • Add the peppers, onion and sun dried tomato and mix. Chill for 15 mins.
    • Spread the mixture on 2 large tortillas, spread evenly, not more than 1/4 inch thick.
    • Add baby spinach or fresh herbs on top. Roll the tortillas tightly, use a little cream cheese to seal the ends. Chill for atleast 2 hours so that the cream cheese can get stiff and the rolls ups can be sliced easily. Slice with a sharp serrated knife. Serve cold.
    • These pinwheels can also be served pan-fried. Lightly dust flour on both sides and pan fry until golden and serve. (This is how hubbs ate all)

    Notes

    Gluten-free Tortillas from the blog Cauliflower tortillas, Sweet potato tortillas. 
    Regular flour tortillas here. Just roll either of these to a large 9-10 inch size and cook acc to instructions on the post. Cool and use. 
     
    Soyfree: Use a non-soy store bought vegan cream cheese (7 to 8 oz).
    You can also use 1 1/4 cup soaked cashews and process them with the rest of the cream cheese ingredients. Add more lemon, salt as needed.

      Just made a batch and they turned out great! I made the first batch with vegan cream cheese and plan to make a second with tofu. I couldn’t find organic flour tortillas (because these won’t have aluminum in the flour), so instead, I used a whole wheat and sprouted grain. They still turned out yummy!

      Want to try this for vegan friends but don’t have brewers yeast – what exactly does it do to flavor/texture? Will it be a failure if I don’t use it?

        It adds cheese flavor. You can use 2 tsp miso instead or just omit. And call the filling a creamy spread instead of cheese Spread

      I made these tonight, and they were delicious! I used store-bought kite hill brand cream cheese in place of the tofu and chopped chives in place of the green onions, used large whole wheat tortillas and opted not to toast them. Turned out perfect! I think next time I will try the Siete brand of almond flour tortillas with the toasted method. I have a feeling I will like that even better. Thinking of all the reasons to make these…I can’t wait to make them again. Thank you! So, so good, as usual. 🙂

      Looking forward to making these! Possible to use oiled sundried tomato’s instead of dry? Or will this make the dish too soggy? Only have the oiled one’s on hand. Thank you

        not really. the veggies will leak a lot of moisture when defrosting. you cam make the cream cheese mixture and refrigerate that for upto 5 days.it might work as frozen. Defrost, whisk again tomake smooth, then fold in veggies and herbs of choice

      Dear Richa,

      Thank you for this and all your other recipes. You make a real difference in the world with your talents. I’m going to have some NV (non-vegan) people over for brunch tomorrow and am making 3 of your recipes: the spinach pinwheels, cinnamon rolls, and shikanji nimbu pani, along with a salad with thai peanut dressing and a fruit salad. I’m sure they’ll love everything. I’ve taken your cinnamon rolls to a few large parties and they’ve been gobbled up. ALL your recipes are excellent.

      Anyway, I want to let you know that lately I’ve been looking to your recipes first lately, before checking any other source. You’re #1! 🙂 Thank you again.
