Thank you to Mezzetta for sponsoring today’s post and inspiring me to get creative and create a unique recipe for the holidays.
Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the buzz in the air and that everyone is a little more loving, thoughtful, and generous.
While growing up, Christmas Eve was always something I looked forward to. We still get together with my side of the family and have pretty much the same traditions we did while I was growing up.
Christmas Eve always includes lots of yummy food, the traditional present game, and ends with opening new pajamas and taking goofy pictures. Here’s a picture from last year! I have ten kids, so most of those are mine — with a few cousins mixed in.
Appetizers are always a part of the party, so I decided to create a healthy holiday appetizer to share with you. It was made super easy by using Mezzetta products! It eliminated a lot of the chopping and added a zing to these veggie roll-ups that the whole family loved.
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 pkg cream cheese
- 8 slices of ham or turkey deli meat (optional)
- 1 cup chopped veggies (anything you like)
- 1/2 cup Mezzetta veggies
- Spread 2 oz. of softened cream cheese on each tortilla.
- Top with deli meat and veggies.
- Roll tortilla up tightly, then roll tightly in plastic wrap, making sure to tuck in the ends so the tortilla doesn't dry out.
- When ready to serve, remove from plastic wrap and slice into pinwheels.
- I used the Mezzetta Italian Mix Giardinieria mixed vegetables in these photos. The pepperoncini peppers or any of the Mezzetta olives would be an awesome addition as well.
- If you want the pinwheels to hold together nicely, don't skip the step where you wrap them in plastic wrap.
