Filling
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/3 cup fresh chives, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas (10 inches each)
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Start by placing the cream cheese in a small bowl. Beat the cream cheese until it’s fluffy and smooth. This will make it easier to incorporate the other ingredients and ensure a creamy texture for the filling.
- Mix the Ingredients: Add the crumbled feta, chopped chives, and dried cranberries to the bowl with the beaten cream cheese. Mix everything well until the ingredients are evenly combined and form a uniform spread to ensure each bite is flavorful and consistent.
- Spread and Roll: Take each tortilla and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface for a balanced flavor. Once spread, roll each tortilla tightly to form a log shape. This helps keep the mixture inside and creates neat slices.
- Chill and Slice: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap to maintain their shape and prevent them from drying out. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing into bite-size pieces to serve.
Notes
- For best results, use softened cream cheese at room temperature to make spreading easier.
- Feel free to substitute feta with goat cheese for a different tangy flavor.
- These roll ups can be prepared a day ahead and kept chilled, making them perfect for holiday prep.
- Slice the rolls with a sharp knife to keep the edges clean and neat.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
