2 cups Fresh Cranberries Substitute with dried cranberries soaked in hot water for a similar taste.
1 cup Granulated Sugar For a low-sugar version, reduce by half and use a natural sweetener like stevia.

8 ounces Cream Cheese Substitute with Greek yogurt for more protein or coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
1/2 cup Chopped Pecans Swap with walnuts or sunflower seeds for nut-free variations.
1/4 cup Powdered Sugar Use a sugar substitute for lower sugar counts.

6 large Flour Tortillas Choose gluten-free tortillas to accommodate gluten sensitivities.

Prepare Cranberry Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of fresh cranberries and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup chopped pecans and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Assemble Roll Ups: Lay 6 large flour tortillas flat and spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture on each. Then, add a generous layer of the cranberry sauce on top of the cream cheese.
Roll and Chill: Tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Slice and Serve: Just before serving, unwrap the roll-ups and slice them into 1-inch pieces. Arrange on a festive platter for a stunning presentation.

Add a festive touch with garnishes like fresh herbs or pomegranate seeds to enhance visual appeal.
