Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes, or microwave it for 10 seconds to soften.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped dried cranberries, crumbled feta, and green onions. Mix until evenly combined. Add chopped nuts if desired.
- Spread the Filling: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture across the entire tortilla, all the way to the edges.
- Roll the Tortilla: Starting at one end, roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Wrap and Chill: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Slice and Serve: Unwrap the chilled rolls and slice them into 1-inch pinwheels using a serrated knife. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make Ahead: These pinwheels can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Store them wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator and slice just before serving.
- Ingredient Variations: Substitute goat cheese for feta or try adding fresh herbs like parsley or dill for extra flavor.
- Custom Flavors: Add a drizzle of honey for sweetness or a pinch of chili flakes for heat.
