A quick and easy veggie wrap featuring smashed cucumbers and creamy cream cheese, perfect for a light and satisfying lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium cucumbers, peeled and smashed (preferably English cucumbers)
  • 4 ounces (about 115 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or parsley
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
  • Optional: thinly sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, or baby spinach leaves

Instructions

  1. Peel the cucumbers and cut them in half lengthwise. Use the side of a knife or the bottom of a glass to gently smash the cucumber halves into chunky pieces, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Place the smashed cucumbers in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and gently squeeze to remove excess moisture, about 1–2 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Fold the drained smashed cucumbers into the cream cheese mixture, coating well but keeping chunks intact, about 2 minutes.
  5. Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for about 15 seconds to make them pliable.
  6. Spread a generous layer of the cucumber and cream cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla. Add optional veggies if desired. Leave about an inch on each side free for folding, about 3–4 minutes.
  7. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately or wrap tightly for later.

Notes

Squeeze excess water from cucumbers thoroughly to avoid soggy wraps. Warm tortillas before assembling for easier rolling. Use fresh herbs for best flavor. Optional protein additions include grilled chicken or turkey. For vegan version, substitute cream cheese with dairy-free alternatives.
