Ingredients
Scale
Essential Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¾ cup dried cranberries (chopped)
- ½ cup green onions (chopped)
Optional Add-Ins for Extra Flavor:
- ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (for crunch)
- ½ cup fresh spinach or arugula
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (for extra sweetness)
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, crumbled feta, and chopped cranberries until well combined.
- Add the chopped green onions and any optional add-ins. Stir to distribute evenly.
Step 2: Assemble the Pinwheels
- Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the tortilla.
- Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a log.
Step 3: Chill and Slice
- Wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (this helps firm up the filling).
- Remove from the fridge and use a sharp knife to cut into ½-inch slices.
- Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately!
Notes
Don’t overfill the tortillas – too much filling can cause them to unravel.
Chill before slicing – this makes cutting easier and keeps them firm.
Use a serrated knife for clean, even cuts without squishing the pinwheels.
Make ahead! – Prepare them up to 24 hours in advance for easy entertaining.
