Tortilla Rollups w/ dairy free cream cheese and fresh raw vegetables make the perfect appetizer, snack or light lunch. Perfect finger food for kids too!
As much as I desperately need my kids to go back to school and get back into a routine schedule, I’m also not ready for summer to end. Not only have we been having a great time this summer, but back-to-school brings it’s own challenges that I’m not ready to face.
Like packing school lunch. Do they really need to eat lunch every day? Sigh… Thanks goodness for easy, fun food like these Tortilla Rollups!
Kids love sandwiches.
They love them even more when the sandwiches are fun-size. Sliders, dinosaur shaped bread, or bite size rollups are always a win.
I always ask my son what he wants for his first day of school lunch. In the past, he has requested black bean tortilla rollups. This year, I thought I’d try something similar, yet different.
I’m happy to report that he LOVES these! He was skeptical at first (too much green perhaps?), and he tentatively tried one. He quickly returned to the kitchen for one more. A few minutes later, he came back yet again, grabbed a plate, loaded 3 more on there and scampered off while mumbling, “Mmm, these are really good, mom.”
Cue proud mama patting herself on the back. First day of 3rd grade lunch will be Tortilla Rollups with dairy free cream cheese and fresh raw veggies!!
As much fun as these are for little hands, kids don’t get to have all the fun.
These Tortilla Rollups make an easy to eat light lunch for adults, too. You can cut the tortilla in half instead of bite size pieces, if you prefer, and eat it like a wrap.
Don’t relegate these cuties just to lunchtime. They make perfect party appetizers, too…or really just any time you feel a snack attack coming on.
Labor Day is fast approaching and that means more BBQ’s. Skip the veggie tray and serve these veggie-loaded tortilla rollups instead!

I really need to try your veggie cream cheese Jenn, it looks and sounds so amazing. Plus, I miss tortilla roll up!

Thanks, Alisa! It quickly became a favorite around here. I’ve been making a batch every week. 🙂 Let me know if you try it!

Omg, these look soooo good Jenn and such a great idea! I think I could eat a billion of those…so healthy and full of flavor!

Thanks, Brandi! I’m pretty sure that’s how many I ate. 🙂 Luckily, so did my kids! 🙂

Yum! I love how many veggies you sneaked in while still having the kids love these rollups 🙂

My kids love peppers and carrots! The rest were definitely bonuses! 🙂

These roll ups looks so fun! Perfect for potlucks!
Jenn S. says
Thanks, Amy! Yes, perfect party food!
Mel says
I can’t believe it’s back to school in a couple of weeks. The summer has gone so fast. These are perfect for packed lunched. My son would enjoy them but I’d have to make great big ones as he is 16 and literally never stops eating!
Jenn S. says
That would work too! We had such a great summer; sad to see it end. But I will welcome a consistent schedule again.
Linda says
I love, love, love rollups! These look great, Jenn! You really do have some smart kiddos. 🙂
Jenn S. says
Thanks, Linda! Gotta teach ’em when they’re young!
Sophia | Veggies Don't Bite says
Tortilla roll ups are always a hit in our house! Such a great snack or lunch for the kids. Well, and me!
Jenn S. says
Much easier to eat lunch and multitask 12 other things when the food is bite size. 🙂
Becky Striepe says
These would be a great addition to a lunchbox!
Jenn S. says
I wouldn’t be mad to see it in mine. 🙂
Strength and Sunshine says
Ah, my momma used to make me cream cheese tortilla roll-up wraps for my lunch box growing up! Haha! Always delish!
Jenn S. says
Oh, really? I absolutely love foods that remind us of our childhoods. So fun! Thanks, Rebecca!
