Ingredients
Pinwheel Ingredients
- 4 8-inch spinach or flour tortillas
- 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)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer or a spoon until it becomes creamy and smooth. Then add the dried cranberries, crumbled feta cheese, sliced green onions, and sugar if using. Stir all ingredients well until evenly combined.
- Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay out each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately 1/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about a 1-inch border free around all edges to prevent filling from spilling out when rolled.
- Roll and Chill: Tightly roll up each tortilla into a log shape. Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the wrapped tortillas for at least one hour to firm up and meld the flavors. They can be refrigerated up to 24 hours in advance.
- Slice and Serve: When ready to serve, unwrap the plastic and use a serrated knife to cut each rolled tortilla into one-inch slices. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can use either spinach or plain flour tortillas based on your flavor preference.
- The sugar is optional; omit it if you prefer a less sweet appetizer.
- For best results, use cream cheese softened at room temperature to make mixing easier.
- These pinwheels can be made up to a day in advance, making them perfect for parties.
- Use a serrated knife to ensure clean, neat slices without squashing the pinwheels.
