For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add 1/4 cup of toasted walnuts or pecans for a similar savory crunch. Feel free to experiment with other cheeses! Goat cheese or a sharp cheddar would also be delicious in this recipe. If you don't have whipped cream cheese, regular cream cheese can be used; just make sure it is thoroughly softened before mixing. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cream cheese mixture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCrisp the Bacon (10 minutes): In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp and golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then chop finely.
02
StepPrepare the Filling (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, feta cheese, chopped bacon, green bell pepper, dried cranberries, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined and creamy.
03
StepAssemble the Pinwheels (10 minutes): Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, ensuring it reaches the edges. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log.
04
StepChill and Set (Minimum 4 hours, or overnight): Wrap each tortilla log tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
05
StepSlice and Serve (5 minutes): When ready to serve, remove the foil or plastic wrap. Trim the ends of each tortilla roll to create clean edges. Slice into 1-inch-thick pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled.
