Ingredients

Scale

Pinwheel Ingredients

  • 1 large flour tortilla
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, honey, garlic powder, and black pepper. Use a spatula or mixer to blend everything until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Spread on Tortilla: Lay the large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the prepared cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, making sure to leave a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
  3. Add Spinach and Cranberries: Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh spinach and chopped dried cranberries evenly over the cream cheese layer, distributing them so every bite has a balance of flavor and texture.
  4. Roll the Tortilla: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays compact.
  5. Chill to Set: Wrap the rolled tortilla securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to slice and serve.
  6. Slice into Pinwheels: After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheel slices.
  7. Serve or Store: Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter to enjoy immediately, or place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour tortilla with a gluten-free tortilla.
  • To enhance flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the cheese mixture.
  • Use fresh spinach for best texture; baby spinach works well too.
  • These pinwheels are best served chilled but can be served at room temperature if preferred.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
