Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (sheep’s milk feta for best flavor)
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries (sweetened for balance)
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Start by placing the softened cream cheese in a small bowl. Beat it until fluffy and smooth, ensuring a creamy texture that will mix well with the other ingredients.
- Mix the Ingredients: Add the crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and chopped fresh chives to the beaten cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined into a uniform spread.
- Spread and Roll: Lay out each flour tortilla and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape to securely hold the filling inside and create neat slices.
- Chill and Slice: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap to preserve shape and moisture. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the rolls to firm up for easier slicing. After chilling, unwrap and cut the rolls into slices of your desired thickness.
- Serve: Arrange the slices on a serving platter and enjoy these festive, flavorful roll ups as a perfect holiday appetizer.
Notes
- Use sheep’s milk feta for the best flavor, but regular feta can be substituted if needed.
- Sweetened dried cranberries add a balance of tart and sweet; adjust the amount to taste if you prefer less sweetness.
- These roll ups can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
- Chilling the rolls is key to making clean, neat slices.
