Christmas Cranberry Pinwheels
Colorful and festive pinwheels featuring sweetened dried cranberries, feta, and cream cheese spread on tortillas. Easy to prepare and perfect for holiday gatherings as a tasty appetizer.
Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 sharp knife
- 1 plastic wrap
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 3/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries softened in warm water for 5 minutes
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 large 10-inch flour tortillas
- 1 package softened cream cheese about 8 ounces
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped green onions, softened cranberries, crumbled feta cheese, and softened cream cheese until evenly mixed.
- Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface and evenly spread the filling mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll each tortilla tightly to encase the filling and wrap them in plastic wrap to keep their shape and prevent drying.
- Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for at least one hour to chill and allow flavors to meld.
- Unwrap the chilled rolls and slice each into approximately 12 pinwheel pieces.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve as a festive appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For dairy-free versions, use vegan cream cheese and substitute dried cherries or apricots for cranberries.
- Use gluten-free tortillas or large lettuce leaves for gluten-free options.
- Wrap leftovers tightly and refrigerate up to 2 days.
- Rolling tightly ensures neat slices and easier serving.
