Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, diced
Instructions
- Place softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Beat until creamy.
- Stir in the shredded cheese, diced green onions, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans.
- Spread the half of the mixture over a tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly and then wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat the with remaining ingredients.
- Let the rolls chill for at least an hour. Slice into rounds and serve.
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese. Be sure to soften the cream cheese before preparing. It helps make the cream cheese creamy and easy to spread.
- Microwave the tortilla. I like to microwave the tortilla about 10 seconds before spreading the mixture. This helps make it more pliable when rolling.
- Spread the mixture evenly. Try and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla.
- Chop small. Make sure the pecans and green onions are chopped small.
- Roll tight. Roll the tortillas up tight to prevent them from falling apart.
