Christmas Cranberry Roll-Ups Recipe
The Christmas Cranberry Roll-Ups Recipe is perfect for the holiday season. These little bites are sweet, creamy and full of festive flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp honey
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tsp orange zest optional
Instructions
Mix the Creamy Filling
- Take a mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese, honey, and cinnamon. Stir until smooth and creamy. This will make your roll-ups sweet and flavorful.
Add the Cranberries and Nuts
- Now, add the dried cranberries and chopped pecans. Mix gently with a spoon. These will give your roll-ups a chewy and crunchy bite. You can also add orange zest if you like a citrus flavor.
Spread the Filling
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mix over the tortilla. Make sure you cover the edges too, so the roll holds together.
Roll It Up
- Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other. The tighter you roll, the better it will hold its shape.
Wrap and Chill
- Wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the roll firm up and makes cutting easier.
Slice and Serve
- After chilling, remove the wrap and place the roll on a cutting board. Slice into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife. Arrange the slices neatly on a serving plate.
Enjoy
- Your Christmas Cranberry Roll-Ups are ready to serve. They look festive, taste creamy, and are full of flavor.
Notes
- Use soft tortillas to make rolling easier.
- Chill the rolls before cutting for clean slices.
- Try adding chopped green onions for a sweet-salty mix.
- You can use whole wheat tortillas for a healthy twist.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top for extra sweetness.
