Ingredients
-
2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
-
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
-
1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
-
1/2 cup chopped green onions or chives
-
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Mix the Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, cranberries, green onions, nuts, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined. -
Spread on Tortillas:
Lay tortillas flat and spread filling evenly over each, leaving a 1/2-inch border on one side. -
Roll the Tortillas:
Starting from the side closest to you, roll each tortilla tightly into a log. -
Chill:
Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to firm up. -
Slice and Serve:
Unwrap chilled logs and slice into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife. Arrange on a platter. Optionally garnish with extra cranberries, nuts, or parsley. Serve with cranberry sauce or a favorite dip.
Notes
-
Soft Tortillas: Warm tortillas for 15–20 seconds in the microwave if they crack while rolling.
-
Firm Slices: Chill the logs well to prevent filling from oozing.
-
Nut Alternatives: Toasted almonds or pistachios work beautifully if you want a twist.
-
Make Ahead: Assemble and wrap the rolls in advance for up to 24 hours.
