- 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add dried cranberries, crumbled feta cheese, sliced green onions, and sugar (if using). Mix well. - Assemble the Pinwheels:
Spread about ¼ cup of the cream cheese mixture evenly onto each tortilla, leaving a one-inch border around the edges. - Roll the Tortillas:
Roll each tortilla tightly and wrap them individually in plastic wrap to maintain shape. - Chill:
Refrigerate the wrapped tortillas for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours if prepping ahead. - Slice and Serve:
Unwrap the tortillas and slice them into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange neatly on a serving platter and serve chilled.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use fresh green onions and quality feta cheese.
- Let the filling chill slightly before spreading to make assembly easier.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or dill for a burst of extra flavor.
