Instructions

Beat Cream Cheese: Start by placing the cream cheese in a small bowl and beating it until fluffy and smooth. This will make it easier to mix in the other ingredients and achieve a creamy filling texture.
Combine Ingredients: Add crumbled feta, dried cranberries, and chopped fresh chives to the beaten cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined, creating a uniform spread that ensures balanced flavor in every bite.
Spread Mixture on Tortillas: Take each large flour tortilla and evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface. This helps distribute the filling evenly for a consistent taste throughout.
Roll Tortillas: Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. This helps keep the filling contained and makes them easier to slice neatly later.
Chill Rolls: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap to maintain shape and prevent drying. Refrigerate the wraps for at least 1 hour to firm up the filling and make slicing easier.
Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and cut each roll into slices of desired thickness. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy your festive cranberry roll-ups.

Notes

Use sheep’s milk feta for a richer, tangier flavor, but regular feta works as well.
Sweetened dried cranberries provide a nice balance to the tangy cheese; adjust quantity depending on your sweetness preference.
Chilling the rolls properly is key to clean slicing and maintaining shape.
These roll ups can be prepared a day ahead and stored refrigerated, making them convenient for holiday entertaining.
For a gluten-free option, substitute tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
