Equipment

  • Toothpicks
  • Serrated knife
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Mandolin optional

Ingredients

  • 3 tortillas about 10 inches/25 cm, one more if they are smaller, Note 1
  • 2 Persian cucumbers or ½ English cucumber
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons dill fresh chopped
  • 2 green onions thin
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 dill sprigs for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Cream cheese mixture: Finely chop the dill and green onion. Mix with the softened cream cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.
    ½ cup cream cheese + 2 tablespoons dill fresh + 2 green onions + ½ teaspoon fine sea salt + ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Cucumbers: Peel and cut them into very thin slices (Note 2). Pat the pieces a bit dry with kitchen paper (especially if using an English cucumber).
    2 Persian cucumbers
  • Fill tortillas: Spread the mixture on the tortillas. Cover with cucumbers, overlapping them a little to make them fit.
    3 tortillas
  • Roll up tightly. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
  • Cut cucumber wraps: Remove the plastic wrap. Use as many toothpicks or wooden picks as needed to secure the roll-ups; it depends on the desired thickness of the pieces. I cut 7 pieces out of each tortilla, so I had 21. Use a serrated knife to slice the roll between the picks.
  • Serve: Arrange on a platter and garnish with a few fresh dill sprigs (optional).

Notes

  1. Tortillas: Soft flour or whole wheat tortillas. The size doesn’t matter too much; use enough tortillas as needed.
  2. Slicing cucumber: I prefer to use a mandolin; the slices will be perfectly thin and regular.
