Description

These Sweet and Savory Cranberry Feta Pinwheels are an easy, no-bake appetizer featuring tangy dried cranberries, creamy cheese, and salty feta rolled into soft tortillas. Perfect for holiday platters, parties, or snacks, these cranberry pinwheels are make-ahead friendly and irresistibly flavorful.


Ingredients

  • 2 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and crumbled feta until mostly smooth.

  2. Stir in cranberries, green onions, salt, pepper, and chopped nuts if using.

  3. Lay a tortilla flat and spread half the mixture evenly over the surface, right to the edges.

  4. Roll the tortilla tightly into a log and wrap in plastic wrap.

  5. Repeat with the second tortilla and remaining filling.

  6. Chill for at least 1 hour to firm up.

  7. Slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a serving tray and enjoy.


Notes

  • Add chopped spinach for color and nutrition.
  • For a touch of sweetness, mix in a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
  • Substitute goat cheese for a tangier, creamier variation.
  • Whole wheat or spinach tortillas offer added flavor and visual appeal.
  • Keep chilled until serving for best results.
