Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the Hidden Valley Ranch, cream cheese, chopped celery, minced green onion, chopped red pepper, and chopped green olives together well.
- Refrigerate the mixture until chilled.
- Spread the chilled mixture evenly over a tortilla.
- Roll up the tortilla tightly.
- Slice into 1-inch pieces to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing. If you don’t have Hidden Valley Ranch, you can substitute with your favorite ranch seasoning mix. For a variation, consider adding chopped herbs like dill or parsley for added freshness. Adjust the vegetables based on what you have on hand for a more personalized flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These festive roll-ups make a great appetizer for holiday gatherings and pair beautifully with a fresh vegetable platter. Consider serving them alongside a creamy dip or a light salad like Strawberry Pretzel Salad(A Dessert) for a refreshing contrast. They can also be included in a buffet spread or served at parties for easy finger food.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover tortilla roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 3 days. For best results, enjoy them cold straight from the fridge, as reheating can make the tortillas tough. If desired, serve them with a fresh dip to enhance their flavor.
