Ingredients
  

Cranberry-Pecan Mixture
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries chopped
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Plastic Wrap

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped cranberries, pecans, green onions, orange zest, honey, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a generous layer of the cranberry-pecan mixture evenly over it, leaving a small border around the edge.
  3. Starting from one end, roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  4. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  5. Once chilled, unwrap and slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
  6. Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with extra orange zest, if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
