Easy, make-ahead cranberry and cream cheese pinwheels perfect for holiday parties and potlucks. These festive roll-ups slice cleanly and add color to any appetizer spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dried cranberries, chopped pecans (if using), fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Lay one tortilla flat. Spread about one-quarter of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Tightly roll up the tortilla, starting from one edge.
  4. Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and cream cheese mixture.
  5. Refrigerate the rolled tortillas for at least 1 hour, or until firm. This makes them easier to slice.
  6. Before serving, unwrap the chilled tortillas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
  7. Arrange the cranberry tortilla roll-ups on a serving platter.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, you can add 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese to the cream cheese mixture.
  • These can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • If the tortillas become too stiff to roll, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
