Holiday Pinwheels Wreath

Hosting a holiday party or contributing to a potluck? We’ve got you covered. Our Holiday Pinwheels Wreath is festive and flavorful. Plus, the touch of playfulness — it’s edible decor! — ensures it will become a new holiday tradition.  

Many of the tasty ingredients offer nutritional benefits too. Sweet-tart dried cranberries are rich in antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E and an excellent source of fiber, which aids digestion. The red and green bell peppers provide a bit of crunch and contain compounds like vitamin C that can support eye health. Lastly, cream cheese is a great source of calcium, which helps support bone and teeth development for kids. (Note: Cream cheese should be eaten in moderation since it is high in saturated fat.)

INGREDIENTS

For bell pepper pinwheels:

• 2 large spinach tortillas
• 6 tablespoons softened cream cheese (plain or chive) or hummus, divided 
• ¼ cup diced red bell peppers, divided
• ¼ cup diced green bell peppers, divided

For cranberry and cheese pinwheels:

• 2 large spinach tortillas
• 6 tablespoons cream cheese (plain or chive), divided
• ⅓ cup dried cranberries, divided
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese, divided

For garnish:

• Rosemary sprigs 

DIRECTIONS

1. To make the bell pepper pinwheels: Spread 3 tablespoons of cream cheese on a large spinach tortilla. Add on half of the portion of diced red bell peppers and green bell peppers. Roll the tortilla up very tightly. Slice the roll into 7 or 8 pieces. The side ends can be set aside and eaten later but should not be a part of the wreath. Repeat this process to make a second bell pepper tortilla roll.
2. To make the cranberry and cheese pinwheels: Spread 3 tablespoons of cream cheese on a large spinach tortilla. Add on half of the portion of cranberries and feta cheese. Roll the tortilla up very tightly. Slice the roll into 7 to 8 pieces. The side ends can be set aside and eaten later but should not be a part of the wreath. Repeat this process to make a second cranberry and cheese roll.
3. On a large plate or cheese board, arrange half of the pinwheels to form an outer circle. Stack the remaining pinwheels on top of the first ring, slight shifted towards the middle to create a slightly smaller ring.
4. Place rosemary sprigs, if using, near the bottom for a wreath effect and serve.
