Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Electric hand mixer
  • Plastic wrap
  • Serrated Knife

Ingredients
 

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1 ½ cups dried cranberries
  • 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch

Instructions
 

  • Beat the softened cream cheese in a small bowl until fluffy. It should look smooth enough to spread without pulling at a tortilla.
  • Mix in the feta, chives, and dried cranberries, then divide the filling evenly among the four tortillas and spread it across each one. The cranberries and chives should be distributed throughout the creamy layer.
  • Roll up each filled tortilla, enclose it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The chilled rolls should feel firm enough to hold their round shape when handled.
  • Unwrap the rolls, cut them into slices, and serve. Each slice should show a distinct swirl of tortilla and filling.

Notes

Rolling tip: Leave about a half-inch border of bare tortilla around the edges so the cheese filling does not spill out when rolled.
Slicing technique: Use a sharp serrated bread knife with a gentle sawing motion, wiping the blade clean with a damp towel between cuts to maintain neat swirls.
Storage: Keep leftover pinwheels refrigerated in an airtight container, placing parchment paper between stacked layers to prevent sticking.
