Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, let the cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing with the Ranch dressing. You can customize the veggies based on your preference; carrots, bell peppers, or even spinach work great. If you want a spicy kick, consider adding sliced jalapeños or using a flavored cream cheese.

Serving Suggestions
These veggie roll-ups make an excellent appetizer or snack, perfect for parties or family gatherings. Serve with a side of salsa or guacamole for dipping, or pair them with a refreshing salad. They also complement dishes like the Western Hero Sandwich nicely, creating a well-rounded meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain freshness, it's best to keep the roll-ups uncut until you're ready to serve. If reheating, do so in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds on low power to avoid making the tortillas tough.
