Ingredients
Scale
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)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Start by placing the softened cream cheese in a small bowl. Beat it until fluffy and smooth to create a creamy base that’s easy to mix with the other ingredients.
- Mix the Ingredients: Add crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh chives, and dried cranberries to the beaten cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined, forming a uniform spread that ensures every bite is flavorful.
- Spread and Roll: Lay out each flour tortilla and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the entire surface. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape to keep the filling inside and create neat, sliceable roll ups.
- Chill and Slice: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap to maintain their shape and prevent drying. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm. After chilling, unwrap and cut into slices of desired thickness. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- For a tangier bite, add a little lemon zest to the filling.
- These roll ups can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
- Slice roll ups with a sharp knife to keep edges neat and prevent filling from squishing out.
