Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Other Ingredients
- 1/3 cup fresh chives, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
- 4 large flour tortillas (10 inches each)
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese: Place the softened cream cheese in a small bowl and beat it until fluffy and smooth to create a creamy base for the filling.
- Combine filling ingredients: Add crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh chives, and dried cranberries to the beaten cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, resulting in a uniform spread.
- Spread mixture on tortillas: Lay each flour tortilla flat and evenly spread the cheese and cranberry mixture over the entire surface to ensure balanced flavor in every bite.
- Roll the tortillas: Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape to keep the filling inside and create compact roll ups.
- Wrap and chill: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly with plastic wrap to maintain shape and prevent drying. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm enough to slice easily.
- Slice and serve: Remove the plastic wrap and cut each roll into slices of your desired thickness. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and enjoy your festive appetizer.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before beating.
- You can substitute dried cranberries with dried cherries or raisins for a different fruity twist.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
- The roll ups can be made a day ahead and refrigerated, making them perfect for holiday party prep.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
