Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Plastic Wrap
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp honey
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crumbled feta, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
- Fold in shredded chicken and dried cranberries. Mix until evenly combined. The filling should be thick but spreadable.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about ½ cup of the mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Roll the tortilla tightly, then wrap it in plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This makes them easier to slice cleanly.
- Remove from plastic and slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled. Garnish with extra cranberries or parsley if desired.
Notes
To avoid cracks, warm tortillas slightly before spreading. Best made ahead and chilled. Not ideal for freezing as cream cheese may separate.
