Ingredients

Filling

  • 3/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion

Wrap

  • 2 large flour tortillas (wheat or spinach for pretty color)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the dried sweetened cranberries, room temperature cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix everything together well until the ingredients are fully incorporated into a smooth and creamy spread.
  2. Assemble the pinwheels: Divide the filling mixture evenly between the two tortillas. Spread the mixture uniformly over the surface of each tortilla, ensuring even coverage from edge to edge for consistent flavor in every bite.
  3. Roll and chill: Roll each tortilla up tightly into a log shape. Wrap each tightly rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour. This helps the filling to set and makes the rolls easier to slice.
  4. Slice and serve: After chilling, unwrap each roll and cut into 12 even slices using a sharp knife. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and enjoy as a tasty appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • For best flavor, let the pinwheels chill for at least one hour before slicing to allow the filling to firm up.
  • Spinach tortillas add a nice green color and subtle flavor variation.
  • You can substitute green onion with chives or finely chopped fresh herbs if preferred.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
