Easy, make-ahead pinwheel appetizers perfect for holiday parties and potlucks, featuring a festive cranberry and cream cheese filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Stir in the whole berry cranberry sauce, chopped nuts (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Lay one tortilla flat. Spread about one-quarter of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a small border along one edge.
  4. Tightly roll up the tortilla, starting from the edge opposite the border.
  5. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and cream cheese mixture.
  6. Wrap the rolled tortillas tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up, which makes them easier to slice.
  7. Before serving, unwrap the chilled tortillas. Slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
  8. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • For a smoother filling, you can use jellied cranberry sauce, but whole berry adds a nice texture.
  • These can be made up to 24 hours in advance and kept refrigerated.
  • If traveling, keep them chilled in a cooler.
