Main Ingredients

  • 4 large large flour tortillas (10-inch) Soft and pliable, perfect canvas for filling.
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Luscious and creamy, binds the ingredients.
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese Provides a salty contrast to the cranberries.
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped Juicy and slightly tart.
  • 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped Bring a satisfying crunch.
  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped Adds brightness and color.
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey (optional) Enhances sweetness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Provides depth to the filling.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Rounds out the flavors.

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese until smooth and airy. Add crumbled feta, dried cranberries, and toasted pecans, then mix in chopped green onions, honey, garlic powder, and black pepper until combined.
  • Spread an even layer of the creamy mixture onto each tortilla, reaching the edges.
  • Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • Unwrap the logs and slice into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and garnish as desired.

Notes

For best flavor, let the cream cheese soften sufficiently. You can use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier option or Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese. Ensure to not overfill to maintain neat rolls.
