Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/3 cup fresh chives, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
- 4 large flour tortillas (10 inches each)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Place the softened cream cheese in a small bowl and beat it until fluffy and smooth to create a creamy base for the filling.
- Mix the Ingredients: Add crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh chives, and dried cranberries to the bowl with the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the filling is evenly combined and spreadable.
- Spread and Roll: Evenly spread about 1/2 cup of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape to keep the filling secure.
- Chill and Slice: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (preferably 2 hours) to firm up. Unwrap and slice into pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife with a gentle sawing motion. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the tortillas to avoid the filling squeezing out while rolling.
- Roll tightly and wrap individually to maintain shape and ease slicing.
- Use a sharp serrated knife and slice gently for clean edges.
- Prepare up to 24 hours ahead to allow flavors to meld and ease party prep.
- Store wrapped in the fridge for up to 3 days. Remove from fridge 15 minutes before slicing for softer cream cheese.
