Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 6 ounces smoked salmon
- 1/2 cup fresh dill (chopped)
- 1/2 cup capers (optional)
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas: Lay out the 6 large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface to make spreading easier.
- Spread cream cheese: Evenly spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese over each tortilla, covering the entire surface to the edges.
- Add smoked salmon: Place slices of smoked salmon evenly over the cream cheese layer on each tortilla.
- Sprinkle dill and capers: Generously sprinkle the chopped fresh dill and optional capers evenly over the smoked salmon for added flavor.
- Roll tortillas: Roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Slice into pieces: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
- Serve: Arrange the roll-ups neatly on a platter and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier spreading.
- Capers are optional but add a nice tangy flavor; feel free to omit if preferred.
- Use a sharp knife and a gentle sawing motion when slicing to keep the roll-ups intact.
- Tortillas can be chilled before slicing to help them hold their shape better.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
