Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, chopped dried cranberries, and sliced green onions. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to create a creamy and flavorful filling.
- Spread the filling: Lay each flour tortilla flat and evenly spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each tortilla, ensuring the filling reaches the edges for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Roll the tortillas: Starting at one edge, carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape, making sure to keep the filling evenly distributed inside to maintain the pinwheel pattern when sliced.
- Chill the rolls: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap to help them hold their shape. Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for at least 1 hour; chilling firms up the filling and makes slicing easier.
- Slice and serve: After chilling, unwrap the rolls and cut each into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy these festive appetizers immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
- For easier slicing, use a sharp serrated knife to prevent squashing the rolls.
- You can substitute green onions with chives or finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley for different flavors.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
- These pinwheels can be prepared a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
