Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup chopped baby spinach (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, chopped green onions, chopped baby spinach if using, and black pepper. Mix everything well until thoroughly and evenly combined.
- Spread the filling: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread about one-quarter of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla.
- Roll tightly: Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling portions.
- Chill the rolls: Wrap each rolled tortilla log tightly in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. Let them chill for at least 1 hour to firm up, which makes slicing easier and keeps the pinwheels intact.
- Slice and serve: After chilling, unwrap the tortillas and use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- These pinwheels are perfect for holiday parties and can be made up to a day in advance for convenience.
- Use a sharp knife to ensure clean, neat slices; wipe the knife between cuts if necessary to prevent sticking.
- You can omit the spinach for a simpler flavor or substitute with other fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
