Ingredients

• 6 string cheese sticks (mozzarella or your favorite vegetarian-friendly cheese)
• 6 large flour tortillas (soft and pliable)
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
• 1 cup baby spinach leaves
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for a fresh herbal note)
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened, optional for spreading)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: a pinch of chili flakes or paprika for a subtle kick

Equipment

• Cutting board
• Sharp knife or vegetable peeler
• Mixing bowl
• Spoon or small spatula (for spreading cream cheese)
• Serving plate
• Plastic wrap or parchment paper (for wrapping rolls if needed)

Instructions

1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash all fresh produce thoroughly. Shred the carrots, thinly slice the cucumber and red bell pepper, and roughly chop the cilantro if using. Place all the vegetables in a mixing bowl.
2. Season the veggies: Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the mixed vegetables. Add salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes or paprika. Toss gently to combine and coat everything evenly.
3. Warm the tortillas: To make the tortillas easier to roll, warm them slightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15 seconds each side, or microwave them for 10-15 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel.
4. Spread cream cheese (optional): Lay each tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese evenly over the surface. This adds a creamy texture and helps hold the veggies in place.
5. Assemble the rolls: Place one string cheese stick near the edge of each tortilla. Spoon a generous amount of the seasoned vegetable mix over the cheese stick, pressing slightly to compact.
6. Roll tightly: Starting from the cheese side, roll the tortilla firmly but gently to enclose the filling. Make sure the seam is underneath to keep it intact.
7. Slice and serve: If desired, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces for easy sharing or leave whole for a hearty snack. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap to keep fresh for up to a few hours.

Tips & Variations

“For an extra flavor boost, try adding a smear of pesto or hummus before layering the veggies. You can also swap the string cheese for halloumi or paneer for a different twist!”

You can customize this recipe easily to your taste. Here are some ideas:

• Swap veggies: Try thinly sliced avocado, grated zucchini, or roasted red peppers instead of or in addition to the ones listed.
• Add crunch: Sprinkle some toasted nuts or seeds like sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts inside.
• Spice it up: Add a few drops of hot sauce or a dash of cayenne pepper for heat.
• Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free tortillas to make this suitable for gluten-sensitive diets.
• Vegan version: Substitute string cheese with vegan cheese sticks and use vegan cream cheese or avocado spread.
