Description

These Simple Cucumber Wraps are refreshing, light, and easy to prepare with just five ingredients. Soft cream cheese mixed with fresh dill and green onions is spread onto tortillas and layered with thinly sliced cucumbers, then rolled and chilled to set. Perfect as a healthy appetizer or snack, these wraps deliver bright, fresh flavors and a satisfying crunch in every bite.

Ingredients

Wrap Ingredients

  • 3 tortillas (about 10 inches/25 cm, one more if smaller)

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (to taste)

Cucumber Layer

  • 2 Persian cucumbers (or ½ English cucumber), peeled and very thinly sliced

Garnish (Optional)

  • 3 dill sprigs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Finely chop the fresh dill and thinly slice the green onions. In a bowl, combine these with the softened cream cheese, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated. Set aside.
  2. Slice the Cucumbers: Peel the Persian cucumbers and cut them into very thin slices. If using English cucumber, pat the slices dry with kitchen paper to remove excess moisture.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly spread the prepared cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, ensuring a smooth, thin layer. Arrange the cucumber slices on top of the cream cheese, overlapping slightly to cover the surface.
  4. Roll Up the Wraps: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the cream cheese to set and make slicing easier.
  5. Slice the Wraps: Remove the plastic wrap. Secure the rolled tortillas with toothpicks evenly spaced along the length to keep them intact. Using a serrated knife, slice between the toothpicks to create bite-sized pieces. Each tortilla can yield about 7 pieces, totaling approximately 21 pieces.
  6. Serve: Arrange the cucumber wrap pieces on a platter and garnish with fresh dill sprigs as desired. Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use Persian cucumbers for thinner slices with less water content; if using English cucumber, drying the slices helps prevent sogginess.
  • If your tortillas are smaller, add an extra one to ensure you have enough to make the desired number of wraps.
  • Chilling the wraps before slicing helps the cream cheese firm up, making clean cuts easier and maintaining the wrap shape.
  • These wraps are best served the same day but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
