Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large flour tortillas (wheat or spinach recommended for added color)
- 1 pack (8 oz/226 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
- ¾ cup (180 mL/6 fl oz) crumbled feta cheese
- ¾ cup (180 mL/6 fl oz) sweetened dried cranberries
- ¼ cup (60 mL/2 fl oz) chopped green onions
Instructions
- Mixture Preparation: Blend cream cheese, feta, green onions, and dried cranberries in a mixing bowl until a smooth, homogeneous spread emerges with balanced flavor distribution.
- Tortilla Filling: Lay tortillas flat and distribute the cheese mixture evenly across each surface, leaving a narrow border around the edges to facilitate clean rolling.
- Rolling and Chilling: Tightly roll each tortilla into compact cylinders, ensuring a snug seal. Wrap individually in plastic film and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to enhance flavor cohesion and structural integrity.
- Slicing and Serving: Unwrap chilled rolls and use a razor-sharp knife to cut into uniform pinwheel medallions approximately one inch thick. Arrange artfully on a presentation platter, serving at ambient temperature to optimize taste and textural nuances.
Notes
- Cheese Blending Tip: Mix ingredients thoroughly to create a uniform, creamy texture that ensures every bite has balanced flavors.
- Spread Strategically: Leave a half-inch border around tortilla edges to prevent filling from squeezing out during rolling.
- Chill for Success: Refrigerate rolls for 60-90 minutes to help them firm up, making slicing cleaner and more precise.
- Serving Suggestion: Cut rolls just before serving to maintain fresh appearance and prevent drying out, using a sharp knife for clean, even pinwheel slices.
