Ingredients
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)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Start by placing the softened cream cheese in a small bowl. Beat it until it’s fluffy and smooth, which will make it easier to blend with the other ingredients and yield a creamy filling.
- Mix the Ingredients: Add the crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and chopped fresh chives to the beaten cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and form a uniform spread, ensuring consistent flavor throughout.
- Spread and Roll: Lay out each flour tortilla and spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture across the entire surface. Once coated, tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape to keep the filling inside and create neat, sliceable wraps.
- Chill and Slice: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap to maintain its shape and prevent drying. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up the rolls, making slicing easier. After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and cut the rolls into slices of desired thickness. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and serve.
Notes
- For best flavor, use sheep’s milk feta cheese.
- Sweetened dried cranberries help balance the savory cheeses.
- Chilling the roll ups before slicing ensures clean, firm slices.
- These roll ups can be made a day ahead and stored refrigerated.
- Feel free to swap flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free options if desired.
