Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (60 grams) crumbled feta cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
Herb and Fruit Additions:
- ½ cup (75 grams) dried cranberries, chopped
- 1 tablespoon (4 grams) fresh parsley, chopped or 1 teaspoon (1 gram) dried
- 1 tablespoon (4 grams) fresh chives, chopped or 1 teaspoon (1 gram) dried
Instructions
- Prepare the flavor-packed filling by blending softened cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped cranberries, minced parsley, and snipped chives in a medium mixing bowl until thoroughly combined and evenly distributed.
- Place a soft tortilla on a clean, flat surface and generously spread the creamy cheese mixture across the entire surface, ensuring complete coverage from edge to edge.
- Carefully roll the tortilla into a tight, compact log, applying gentle pressure to maintain a secure and uniform shape. Repeat the process with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Individually wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap, creating a snug protective covering that will help maintain the roll’s structure.
- Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for a minimum of 60 minutes (1 hour), allowing the filling to set and the flavors to meld together, which will also make slicing easier.
- After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into neat pinwheel segments approximately 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) thick using a sharp knife.
- Arrange the colorful pinwheels on a serving platter, presenting them attractively for guests to enjoy as a delightful appetizer or party snack.
Notes
- Prep these delightful appetizers ahead of time for stress-free party planning, as they can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before serving.
- Ensure cream cheese and feta are at room temperature for smoother, easier mixing and a more consistent filling texture.
- Choose soft, fresh tortillas that roll easily without cracking to achieve perfect pinwheel presentation.
- Pat chopped cranberries dry before mixing to prevent excess moisture from making the filling runny.
- Slice rolls with a sharp, clean knife for neat, precise pinwheel edges that look professionally prepared.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like dill or thyme to customize the flavor profile and surprise your guests.
