Cranberry Feta Pinwheels

Cranberry feta pinwheels hit all the right notes: creamy, salty, tangy, sweet. The whipped cream cheese gives the filling its plush texture, while crumbled feta adds a briny sharpness that doesn’t hold back. Dried cranberries bring chewy pops of tart-sweet flavor, and chopped green onions cut through the richness with a clean, peppery edge. The filling is then spread on soft flour tortillas that are rolled into tight spirals. These feta and cranberry pinwheels chill into neat little bites with just enough structure to hold their shape but still feel tender when you sink your teeth in.

These are the kind of snack that disappears fast, whether you’re setting them out for a party or pulling a roll from the fridge for lunch. They look as good as they taste—white and green flecked with ruby red cranberries—and they’re designed to be made ahead. Let them hang out in the fridge for a bit while the flavors deepen and the tortillas soften, and everything will hold together like a dream.
