Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup crumbled sheep’s milk feta cheese
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese: Place the softened cream cheese in a small bowl and beat it until fluffy and smooth. This step ensures a creamy texture and easier incorporation of additional ingredients.
- Mix the filling: Add the crumbled feta, dried cranberries, and chopped fresh chives to the beaten cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and well combined, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
- Spread on tortillas: Lay out each flour tortilla and evenly spread the cream cheese mixture across the entire surface. Covering the whole tortilla ensures each bite is flavorful and balanced.
- Roll tortillas: Tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape to keep the filling contained and provide a neat presentation for slicing.
- Chill the rolls: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap to maintain shape and prevent drying out. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to firm up, making slicing easier.
- Slice and serve: Remove the plastic wrap after chilling and cut the rolls into slices of your desired thickness. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and enjoy these festive roll ups as a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Use sheep’s milk feta cheese for a richer, more authentic flavor, but any good quality feta will work.
- Sweetened dried cranberries provide a perfect balance to the salty feta and creamy cheese.
- For easier spreading, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
- The roll ups can be made several hours ahead and stored refrigerated until serving.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
