Instructions

Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese over each flour tortilla to create a creamy base layer.
Layer Smoked Salmon: Arrange the thinly sliced smoked salmon over the cream cheese, ensuring the surface is well covered for balanced flavor in every bite.
Add Vegetables: Distribute the julienned cucumber and thinly sliced bell pepper evenly across the salmon layer to add a refreshing crunch and color.
Sprinkle Dill: Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the vegetables to infuse the roll ups with bright, herbaceous notes.
Roll Tortillas: Starting at one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape, securing all the ingredients inside.
Chill Rolls: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and make slicing easier.
Slice Roll Ups: Remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into 1-inch thick pieces to create bite-sized pinwheels.
Arrange and Garnish: Arrange the slices on a serving platter and garnish with lemon slices and fresh dill sprigs to enhance presentation and add a citrusy aroma.

Notes

For best results, use softened cream cheese to facilitate easy spreading.
You can substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas if desired.
Keep the roll ups tightly wrapped while chilling to maintain their shape.
Feel free to add additional herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
These roll ups can be prepared a few hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
