Mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Stir in chicken, celery, green onion, dried cranberries, pecans, and feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Microwave tortillas to soften. Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture on each tortilla. Roll up, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Cut into slices and serve. Tips For Making Chicken Cranberry Pinwheels For best results, briefly heat the tortillas in a microwave with a damp paper towel placed on top of them. This makes them more pliable and they are less likely to rip when you roll them up. I like the crunch that celery adds, but if you don’t like celery, leave it out. If you want to add some more color and nutrition, place a layer of baby spinach leaves on the tortillas before you roll them up. If you are making these for a holiday party, try using spinach tortillas for a festive look. Use any kind of cooked chicken. I typically use rotisserie chicken, but grilled or baked chicken works too. You could even use leftover turkey. These pinwheels can be made up to 3 days in advance. Keep them wrapped tightly and wait until just before serving to cut into slices. Once they are sliced, it is more difficult to keep them wrapped tightly and they will start to dry out.
