Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Mixer (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese full-fat, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 bunch green onions diced
  • 1 medium green pepper diced
  • 1 cup mozzarella shredded
  • 1 cup cheddar shredded
  • 1 packet ranch dressing seasoning Use Hidden Valley. I tried an organic off-brand once and it changed the whole flavor :/

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients with either a mixer or by hand in a large bowl.
  • Spread 1/4 of the mixture on each tortilla.
  • Tightly roll up each tortilla to avoid gaps when slicing.
  • Wrap each rollup in either cling wrap or tin foil to keep from drying out in the fridge.
  • Place rollups in the fridge overnight or for a few hours, however long you have! This is important to get all the flavors to meld together.
  • Carefully slice each rollup into 1/2 inch slices.
  • Serve right away or store in a sealed container in the fridge.

Notes

Notes

After making this recipe and using an off-brand ranch packet and "light" cream cheese I am here to tell you NOT TO! It completely changed the flavor of these. My original recipe uses full-fat cream cheese and Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning packets and I recommend you do too! 

Variations

This is a great base recipe to get creative with your ingredients. Here are a few other rollup ideas:
South of the Border: Replace ranch seasoning with taco seasoning and add in jalapenos and black olives.
Mediterranean: Replace ranch seasoning with pesto, swap green peppers for sundried tomatoes, and add in some feta and kalamata olives. 
Italian: Replace ranch seasoning with dry Italian dressing mix, swap green peppers for red peppers, add in some red onion, and lay some pepperoni and salami down flat when you roll them up.
