Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dried cranberries, chives, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spread about one-quarter of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Tightly roll up each tortilla, starting from one edge.
Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to slice.
Before serving, unwrap the tortillas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
Notes
For a festive touch, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cream cheese mixture for a hint of heat.
These roll ups can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
If the tortillas are difficult to roll, warm them slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
