Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Plastic Wrap
  • Chef’s knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional)
  • salt and black pepper, to taste

Assembly

  • 4 large flour or spinach tortillas (10-inch)

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the dried cranberries, crumbled feta, and green onions. Stir in herbs if using, and season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Lay the tortillas flat. Divide the filling evenly among them and spread into a thin, even layer, leaving a small 1/2-inch border along one long edge.
  • Roll each tortilla up tightly from the long side toward the clean border to form a compact log. Place seam-side down, wrap each log in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
  • Unwrap and trim the ends. Slice into 1/2-inch pinwheels with a sharp or serrated knife, wiping the blade between cuts for neat slices. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled or at cool room temperature.

Notes

Make-ahead: Assemble and chill the rolled logs up to 24 hours in advance; slice just before serving for the cleanest pinwheels.
Variations: Swap dill for parsley, add a pinch of dried dill or garlic powder, or use spinach tortillas for extra color. For a sweet-heat twist, mix in a finely minced jalapeño.
Storage: Keep leftovers covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days. For best texture, avoid freezing as tortillas can become grainy once thawed.
