Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Filling
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Base
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crumbled feta cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Add the Filling: Stir in the chopped dried cranberries, green onions, and fresh parsley until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into the cheese mixture.
- Spread onto Tortillas: Evenly spread the cheese and cranberry mixture over the surface of each of the four flour tortillas, making sure to cover edge to edge for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Roll the Tortillas: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap to hold their shape.
- Chill: Place the wrapped tortillas in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour. This step firms up the filling and makes slicing easier.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, unwrap the tortillas and slice them into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled as a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, swap flour tortillas for gluten-free tortillas.
- These pinwheels can be prepared up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated.
- Try adding toasted walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and flavor.
- Use fresh cranberries if available, but note they will be more tart and less sweet than dried.
- If you prefer a milder cheese flavor, reduce the amount of feta and increase cream cheese accordingly.
