Instructions

Mix the filling: In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, dill, chives, lemon zest, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Assemble: Spread the mixture evenly over each tortilla. Arrange the smoked salmon slices in a single layer on top.
Roll and chill: Roll the tortillas tightly and wrap each one in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Slice and serve: Cut into ¾-inch rounds and arrange on a platter. Garnish with extra dill or lemon zest if desired.
