Description

These Cranberry Feta Pinwheels with Cream Cheese are a festive and flavorful appetizer, perfect for holiday gatherings or as a quick party snack. Creamy, tangy, and easy to make!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 spinach or flour tortillas (8-inch size)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for added sweetness)

Optional Substitutions:

  • Use plant-based cream cheese for a dairy-free option.
  • Swap dried cranberries for dried cherries or raisins for a twist.
  • Gluten-free tortillas for dietary restrictions.

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Assemble the Pinwheels:
    Spread about ¼ cup of the cream cheese mixture evenly onto each tortilla, leaving a one-inch border around the edges.
  3. Roll the Tortillas:
    Roll each tortilla tightly and wrap them individually in plastic wrap to maintain shape.
  4. Chill:
    Refrigerate the wrapped tortillas for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours if prepping ahead.
  5. 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.
