Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Fresh Herbs (e.g., dill, parsley) Substitute dried herbs if fresh are unavailable.

For the Wrap
  • 4 large Tortillas Flour or whole wheat tortillas work best for flexibility.

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by beating 8 ounces of cream cheese in a mixing bowl until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Chop fresh herbs and fold them into the cream cheese along with 1 cup of tart cranberries until well combined.
  3. Lay out tortillas on a clean surface, and evenly spread a generous layer of the creamy filling over each one, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Starting from one end, carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape.
  5. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, aiming for 24 hours for optimal texture.
  6. Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp serrated knife to slice each log into bite-sized pinwheels, about 1 inch thick.
  7. Carefully arrange your pinwheels on a serving platter, showcasing the beautiful layers of creamy filling and cranberries.
