Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried sweetened cranberries
- 1 cup cream cheese spread
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 4 wheat flour tortillas or spinach tortillas
Instructions:
-
Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the dried sweetened cranberries, cream cheese spread, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Spread Mixture: Divide the mixture evenly among the wheat flour or spinach tortillas. Spread the mixture evenly over each tortilla, ensuring full coverage.
-
Roll Up: Roll up each tortilla tightly, starting from one end and rolling towards the other. Ensure the filling is securely wrapped inside the tortilla.
-
Chill: Wrap each rolled-up tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. Chilling helps the pinwheels to set and allows the flavors to meld together.
-
Slice and Serve: Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice each tortilla roll into 12 equal-sized pinwheels. Arrange them on a serving platter and serve chilled.
