Pinwheel Ingredients

3 Large Burrito-Sized Spinach Tortillas
8 Ounces Cream Cheese, softened
6 Ounces Feta Cheese, crumbled
⅔ Cup Dried Cranberries
5 Green Onions, diced
2 Tablespoons Green Onions, chopped (for garnish)
¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

Prepare the cheese mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crumbled feta cheese. Mix well using a fork or a spatula until smooth and evenly blended.
Add flavorings: Stir in the diced green onions, dried cranberries, and black pepper into the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
Spread the mixture: Lay out one spinach tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread about one-third of the cheese and cranberry mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, making sure to reach the edges for an even roll.
Roll and chill: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a log shape. Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour. This helps the pinwheels hold their shape when sliced.
Slice and serve: Remove the rolled tortilla from the fridge and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Repeat the spreading, rolling, chilling, and slicing steps with the remaining two tortillas and cheese mixture.
Garnish and present: Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter. Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top for a fresh and colorful garnish. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve.

Notes

For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth spread.
You can substitute dried cranberries with dried cherries or raisins for a different flavor profile.
Pinwheels can be made a few hours ahead of time and stored covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Use a sharp serrated knife for clean slices without squashing the pinwheels.
These pinwheels are vegetarian-friendly and work well as finger food for parties or buffets.
