½ cup dried cranberries, chopped
¼ cup finely chopped green onions
¼ cup crushed walnuts or pecans
2 tbsp mayonnaise or 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 tbsp honey
Pinch of salt & pepper
For the Wraps:
4 large flour tortillas (spinach tortillas look extra Christmas-y!)

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Creamy Filling

Step 4: Add the Greens

Step 7: Cut Into Pinwheels
Slice each wrap into 1-inch pieces and place them upright on a platter.
