Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, crumbled feta, chopped cranberries, fresh parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  2. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Optionally, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
Assembly
  1. Lay your tortillas flat on a clean surface. Generously spread a layer of the creamy filling over each tortilla, ensuring to leave a little border around the edges.
  2. Carefully roll each tortilla up tightly, making sure the filling is evenly distributed and that the seam is placed face-down.
  3. Slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch wide pinwheels and arrange them on a serving platter.
Serving
  1. You can serve these pinwheels immediately or refrigerate them until ready to impress your guests. Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of parsley or additional cranberries.

Notes

To elevate your pinwheels, consider adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, using flavored tortillas, or presenting them on a charcuterie board.
