Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120 grams) feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup (120 grams) dried cranberries, chopped
Binding and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) green onions, finely chopped
Garnish:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Blend softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until creamy and uniform in texture.
- Incorporate dried cranberries, crumbled feta, green onions, and parsley into the mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Position a tortilla on a clean work surface and spread the cranberry-feta blend across the entire surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the tortilla into a tight cylindrical shape, applying gentle pressure to secure the filling.
- Completely encase each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap, sealing the edges to prevent moisture loss.
- Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for 60-90 minutes, allowing the filling to set and flavors to meld.
- Remove plastic wrap and slice each roll into bite-sized pinwheels approximately 1 inch thick.
- Arrange pinwheels on a decorative serving platter and optionally garnish with fresh parsley sprigs for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Customize the filling by adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch and texture.
- Make the roll-ups gluten-free by using corn or gluten-free tortillas instead of traditional wheat tortillas.
- Prepare the mixture ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to save time during holiday prep.
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat cream cheese with low-fat or Greek yogurt cream cheese to reduce calories.
