Cranberry Feta Roll-Ups are a festive and flavorful appetizer featuring a creamy, tangy mixture of feta and cream cheese combined with sweet dried cranberries, wrapped in soft flour tortillas. These easy-to-make, bite-sized pinwheels are perfect for holiday gatherings, offering a vibrant and colorful presentation with optional fresh spinach, nuts, and herbs. They serve well chilled or at room temperature and can be easily customized to accommodate dietary preferences or add protein.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Flour tortillas – soft and pliable (8-inch size, about 4 tortillas)
  • Cream cheese – softened, 8 oz
  • Feta cheese – crumbled, 4 oz
  • Dried cranberries – 1/2 cup
  • Honey – 1 tbsp

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh spinach – 1 cup, chopped (optional)
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts – 1/4 cup (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (like mint or basil) – 2 tbsp, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crumbled feta, dried cranberries, honey, and chopped fresh herbs (if using). Stir well until the mixture is creamy and evenly blended.
  2. Lay Out Tortillas: Place flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Warm them slightly if desired to make rolling easier.
  3. Spread the Mixture: Using a spatula, spread a generous, even layer of the cranberry-feta mixture across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Add Optional Ingredients: Sprinkle chopped fresh spinach and/or nuts evenly over the spread mixture before rolling, if using.
  5. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log. Chill the rolls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set. Then slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels, perfect for serving.

Notes

  • Chill before slicing to help the roll-ups hold their shape and slice neatly.
  • Use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth, easy-to-spread filling without lumps.
  • Adjust honey amount based on the sweetness of cranberries to balance tart and sweet flavors.
  • Fresh herbs add brightness and elevate the overall flavor—don’t skip them if possible.
  • Serve roll-ups chilled or at room temperature, depending on your preference.
