Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 3 Large Burrito Sized Spinach Tortillas
Filling
- 8 Ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 6 Ounces Feta Cheese
- ⅔ Cup Dried Cranberries
- 5 Green Onions, diced
- ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper
Garnish
- 2 Tablespoons Green Onions, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, diced green onions, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated to create a creamy, flavorful spread.
- Spread the filling: Lay each spinach tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla, spreading it out to cover the entire surface for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Roll and chill: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly to form pinwheels. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow firm setting, which makes slicing easier and helps flavors meld.
- Slice into pinwheels: Once chilled, unwrap the tortillas and use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1 to 1.5-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange them on a platter.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the pinwheels for added freshness and a pop of color. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
- For best results, use tortillas that are fresh and pliable to prevent cracking when rolling.
- Chilling time helps the pinwheels hold their shape when cutting and serving.
- These pinwheels can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Feel free to substitute dried cranberries with dried cherries or raisins for a different twist.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and achieve a smooth texture.
