Common recipe questions
- → How do I keep the roll-ups from falling apart when slicing?
Wrap the rolled tortillas tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. This firms up the filling and helps maintain shape during slicing.
- → Can I use other vegetables in the filling?
Yes, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, bell peppers, or thinly sliced cucumbers can add color and texture to the filling.
- → What can I serve with these tortilla roll-ups?
They pair wonderfully with sparkling white wine, cranberry spritzers, or light vegetable dips for festive occasions.
- → Is it possible to make a non-vegetarian version?
Adding diced turkey or ham to the filling provides extra protein and flavor, transforming them into a heartier option.
- → What type of tortillas work best for these rolls?
Large flour tortillas, around 10 inches in diameter, give enough space for filling and are flexible for rolling tightly.
