Ingredients

1 large flour tortilla (whole wheat or regular)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped

1/4 cup roasted walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1/4 cup fresh spinach or arugula, chopped

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme) for added flavor

Instructions

Prepare the Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, and honey. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add the Add-Ins: Fold in the chopped dried cranberries, nuts (if using), and chopped spinach or arugula until well incorporated. For an extra burst of flavor, add any preferred fresh herbs.

Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface or a large cutting board. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.

Roll It Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly towards the opposite end, making sure to keep the filling inside and to form a log shape.

Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into bite-sized pinwheels, about 1 inch thick. Place them on a platter.

Chill (Optional): For best results, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Enjoy: Serve your Cranberry Feta Pinwheels as an appetizer or snack at parties, or enjoy them as a light lunch!
