Ingredients
To make these pinwheels, gather the following ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you can’t find dried cranberries, dried cherries make a wonderful substitute. For a bit of a kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mix.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create delicious pinwheels:
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, chopped green onions, and honey. Mix until well combined.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remember, the feta is already salty, so start with a small amount of salt.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll the tortilla tightly, ensuring the filling stays in place. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and mixture.
- Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will help the pinwheels hold their shape when sliced.
- When ready to serve, slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels and arrange on a platter.
One tip from my kitchen: chilling the rolls not only helps with slicing but also enhances the flavors as they meld together in the fridge.
