Cranberry Feta Pinwheels with Cream Cheese


  • Author: Amelia
  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 24 pinwheels 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • Fresh parsley or dill (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and honey (if using). Stir until smooth and well blended.
  2. Fold in the chopped dried cranberries, crumbled feta cheese, and finely chopped green onions. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2: Assemble the Pinwheels

  1. Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  2. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 3: Roll the Tortillas

  1. Starting at one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla into a log. Apply gentle pressure to ensure the filling sticks and the roll holds together.
  2. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a plate or tray.

Step 4: Chill the Pinwheels

  1. Cover the rolled tortillas with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling allows the cream cheese to firm up, making it easier to slice cleanly.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

  1. After chilling, use a sharp knife to trim off the ends of each tortilla roll (these can be enjoyed as a snack for the chef!).
  2. Slice the tortillas into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for an added festive touch, if desired. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve.
