Ingredients
Scale
Pinwheel Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup dried cranberries
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wraps
- 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, dried cranberries, crumbled feta cheese, chopped green onions, and fresh parsley if using. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper as needed for seasoning.
- Spread the Filling: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread half of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, ensuring coverage all the way to the edges for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Roll and Refrigerate: Tightly roll up each tortilla into a log shape to hold the filling securely. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up, making slicing easier.
- Slice into Pinwheels: Remove the logs from the fridge and unwrap them. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into ½-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange the slices neatly on a serving platter.
- Serve: Serve the cranberry feta pinwheels chilled or at room temperature as a tasty appetizer or party snack. They pair wonderfully with a variety of dips or on their own.
Notes
- Pinwheels can be prepared a day in advance and stored wrapped in the refrigerator to save time on the day of serving.
- For added texture and a nutty flavor, consider incorporating chopped walnuts or pecans into the filling mixture.
