Ingredients:
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- Salt and pepper

- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
Directions:
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper until combined.

- Start by rolling one end of the tortilla gently but tightly. Roll until the tortilla is completely rolled up and press your finger to seal the tortilla roll ups. Add more cream cheese if needed to seal more.
- Continue with the remaining tortilla.
