Method

1. 1

   This is a no-cook, assembly-only recipe, so no cooking is required.

2. 2

   Beat the softened cream cheese with mayonnaise, chives, and garlic powder until smooth and spreadable.

3. 3

   Lay a tortilla flat and spread an even, thin layer of the cream cheese mixture edge to edge. This is the glue that holds the roll together, so don't skimp near the edges.

4. 4

   Layer deli meat, a slice of cheese, spinach leaves, bell pepper strips, and cucumber matchsticks over the bottom two-thirds of the tortilla.

5. 5

   Starting from the filled edge, roll the tortilla up tightly into a log, using the cream cheese at the far edge to seal the seam.

6. 6

   Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour to firm up, which makes for cleaner slicing.
