Total Time:15 minutes
Yield:24 pieces
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 each tortilla flat on a clean surface so you can easily spread the ingredients.
Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese over the entire surface of each tortilla, ensuring full coverage to help hold the roll-ups together.
Add Smoked Salmon: Place slices of smoked salmon evenly over the cream cheese on each tortilla, covering the surface but leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle Dill and Capers: Sprinkle chopped fresh dill and capers (if using) evenly over the smoked salmon to add fresh herbal notes and a bit of briny flavor.
Roll and Slice: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other to form a log. Then slice the roll into bite-sized pieces approximately 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
Serve: Arrange the roll-up slices on a serving platter and provide lemon wedges for guests to squeeze over the top just before eating for a bright burst of flavor.
Notes
For easier slicing, chill the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before cutting.
You can substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps for a gluten-free option.
Use fresh dill for the best flavor; dried dill will provide less impact.
Capers are optional but add a nice salty bite complementing the smoked salmon.
To make it vegetarian, omit smoked salmon and add thin slices of cucumber or roasted red pepper instead.
