Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (sheep’s milk feta for best flavor)
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
Other Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries (sweetened for balance)
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Start by placing the cream cheese in a small bowl. Beat the cream cheese until it is fluffy and smooth to create a creamy base that’s easy to mix.
- Mix the Ingredients: Add crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and chopped fresh chives to the beaten cream cheese. Mix everything thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined and forms a consistent spread.
- Spread and Roll: Lay each flour tortilla flat and evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over its entire surface to ensure balanced flavor in every bite. Once spread, roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape to secure the filling.
- Chill and Slice: Wrap each rolled tortilla log in plastic wrap to maintain its shape and prevent drying. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm. After chilling, unwrap and slice the rolls into your desired thickness, then arrange on a serving platter to enjoy.
Notes
- Use sheep’s milk feta for the best flavor, but any feta cheese will work.
- Sweetened dried cranberries provide the ideal balance of tartness and sweetness.
- Chilling the roll ups at least 1 hour is essential to allow the mixture to firm up for clean slicing.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
- These roll ups can be made a day ahead and stored wrapped in the refrigerator.
