Save Recipe FAQs
- → Can I prepare the roll-ups in advance?
Yes, chilling the rolled tortillas for at least an hour makes slicing easier and enhances flavors.
- → What can I use instead of roasted red bell pepper?
Sun-dried tomatoes or roasted yellow peppers add a similar sweet, smoky flavor and vibrant color.
- → Are there suitable gluten-free options?
Substitute regular flour tortillas with certified gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free alternative.
- → How do I keep the roll-ups from unrolling when slicing?
Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap before chilling; this helps maintain shape while cutting.

Sliced turkey or ham can be included for added protein and heartier texture if desired.
