Here is a favorite appetizer/snack of mine...

Chevre, Craisin and Walnut Pinwheels

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, very well softened
1 (5 1/2 ounce) package chevre herbed goat cheese (can use feta)
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
6 ounces dried sweetened cranberries (Craisins)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
4 large flour tortillas

1. In medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chevre cheese, green onions, dried cranberries and chopped walnuts.
2. Evenly spread 1/4 of the mixture onto each tortilla, all the way to the edges.
3. Roll up tightly, being careful not to tear.
4. Wrap each in plastic wrap; refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
5. Slice to serve. Makes about 32 appetizers.
