02 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
03 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
04 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

# How To Make It:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chives, parsley, dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
02 - Lay first spinach tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread half the herb cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving a half-inch border around edges.
03 - Arrange half the julienned carrot, red bell pepper, cucumber, and baby spinach leaves in a single even layer over the cream cheese.
04 - Starting from one edge, tightly roll up the tortilla to form a compact log, keeping vegetables evenly distributed.
05 - Repeat the spreading, layering, and rolling process with the second tortilla and remaining ingredients.
06 - Wrap both rolls tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up for neater slicing.
07 - Using a sharp knife, slice each chilled roll into three-quarter inch pinwheels, wiping blade between cuts for clean edges.
08 - Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.
