Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh chives
- 1 ½ cups dried cranberries
Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: Place the softened cream cheese in a small bowl and beat it until it becomes fluffy and smooth. This ensures a creamy base for the mixture.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh chives, and dried cranberries to the cream cheese. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the Pinwheels: Spread the cheese and cranberry mixture evenly over each flour tortilla, covering them completely with a consistent layer.
- Roll and Chill: Roll each tortilla up tightly and wrap them individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the wrapped pinwheels for at least 1 hour to let them firm up for easier slicing.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, unwrap the tortillas and cut each into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and enjoy immediately or keep chilled until serving.
Notes
- For best results, soften the cream cheese at room temperature before making the mixture to avoid lumps.
- Feel free to substitute fresh herbs like parsley or dill in place of chives for different flavor profiles.
- These pinwheels can be made a day ahead and stored tightly covered in the refrigerator.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free if needed.
- Add a sprinkle of black pepper or red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
