Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces smoked salmon
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 4 large tortillas
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 8 ounces of smoked salmon, 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, and 4 large tortillas.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, lime juice, and fresh dill. Use a fork or a spatula to mix them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread a generous layer of the dilled lime cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- On top of the cream cheese layer, arrange a portion of the smoked salmon evenly across the tortilla. You can use about 2 ounces of salmon per tortilla, depending on your preference.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly over the filling, making sure to keep the ingredients inside as you roll. Continue rolling until you reach the opposite edge, sealing the rollup.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, cream cheese mixture, and smoked salmon until all ingredients are used.
- Once all the rollups are made, you can slice each rollup into bite-sized pieces or serve them whole. Arrange them on a serving platter for presentation.
- Optionally, garnish the rollups with additional fresh dill or lime wedges for a pop of color and extra flavor.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips
- Choose high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor - fresh, wild-caught salmon makes a significant difference.
- Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and spreading.
- Don't overfill the tortillas - this can make rolling difficult and cause tearing.
- For a neater presentation, use a sharp knife to slice the rollups into uniform bite-sized pieces.
- If preparing in advance, wrap the rollups tightly in plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out in the refrigerator.
- Experiment with different herbs like chives or parsley if you want to vary the flavor profile.
- For a low-carb version, you can substitute the tortillas with large lettuce leaves.
- Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor combination.
