Ingredient Substitutions

For the cream cheese, Greek yogurt cream cheese offers a tangy, protein-rich alternative that maintains the creamy texture. Use an equal amount as a direct substitute. Vegan cream cheese made from nuts or soy can accommodate dairy-free diets. Feta cheese can be replaced with goat cheese for a milder flavor or nutritional yeast for a vegan option with a cheesy taste. Adjust quantities to taste, as nutritional yeast is more concentrated. Dried cranberries can be substituted with dried cherries or goji berries for a similar tart-sweet flavor profile and chewy texture. These alternatives offer different antioxidant profiles. For gluten-free diets, replace flour tortillas with large lettuce leaves or gluten-free wraps made from rice or corn. If using lettuce, prepare smaller portions to maintain structural integrity.

Estimated Nutrition

Estimated nutrition for the whole recipe (without optional ingredients):

  • Calories: 1500-1700
  • Protein: 35-45 g
  • Fat: 80-90 g
  • Carbohydrates: 180-200 g

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10 inches each)

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

Start by placing cream cheese in a small bowl.

Beat the cream cheese until it’s fluffy and smooth.

This will make it easier to incorporate the other ingredients and ensure a creamy texture for the filling.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl with the beaten cream cheese, except for the tortillas.

Mix everything well until the ingredients are evenly combined and form a uniform spread.

This ensures each bite is flavorful and consistent.

Step 3: Spread and Roll

Take each tortilla and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over them, making sure to cover the entire surface for a balanced flavor.

Once the mixture is spread, roll each tortilla tightly to form a log shape.

This helps keep the mixture inside and creates neat slices.

Step 4: Chill and Slice

Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap to maintain their shape and prevent them from drying out.

Refrigerate the wraps for at least 1 hour until they firm up, making them easier to slice.

After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and cut the rolls into slices of your desired thickness.

Arrange the slices on a serving platter and enjoy!
