8 oz Cream Cheese Substitution Note: Use Neufchâtel cheese for a lighter option.
1 cup Dried Cranberries Substitution Note: Use any dried fruit like cherries for variation.
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (e.g., chives, parsley) Substitution Note: Basil or dill can also work well.

4 large Tortillas Substitution Note: Whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas can be used for dietary preferences.

Prepare Filling: Start by beating the cream cheese in a bowl until it's fluffy and smooth. Mix in the dried cranberries and freshly chopped herbs, blending well until everything is evenly coupled together.
Assemble Roll Ups: Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread the filling evenly over the entire tortilla, making sure to cover it with a generous layer. Tightly roll it up to form a log, ensuring it's compact and secure.
Chill: Wrap each log in plastic wrap, ensuring it’s tightly closed. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, giving the flavors time to meld together and the logs to firm up for easier slicing.
Slice and Serve: Once chilled, carefully unwrap each log. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the log into ½-inch pinwheels. Arrange them beautifully on a serving platter to showcase your work.

Optional: Garnish with extra herbs for a pop of color! These roll ups are best served cold, but can be microwaved on low if preferred warm.
