Ingredients
- 6 zero-carb street taco-sized tortillas
- 6 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Substitute
- 1 medium carrot (peeled and shredded)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1 pinch ground ginger
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Substitute. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the shredded carrot, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Take a tortilla and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling down the center. Be careful not to overfill, as you’ll need to roll them up tightly.
- Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, starting from one end and tucking it in as you go. Repeat this process for all tortillas.
- Once all the roll-ups are prepared, place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This will help them hold their shape during cooking.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Once heated, place the roll-ups in the air fryer basket and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Alternatively, you can pan-fry them in a little oil over medium heat until crispy on all sides.
- Remove from the air fryer or pan and let them cool slightly before slicing them into bite-sized pieces.
