Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)
  • ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • ¼ cup green onions, chopped

Wrap

  • 4 large flour tortillas

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Start by shredding your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces if it is not already shredded, ensuring an even texture for mixing.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning mix, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.
  3. Combine Thoroughly: Mix all the ingredients together until they are well blended and evenly distributed to create a flavorful filling.
  4. Spread the Mixture: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface and spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture evenly across the center, spreading it evenly but leaving edges clear for rolling.
  5. Roll Tight: Starting from one edge of the tortilla, roll it tightly to enclose the filling fully, making sure it is firm to hold its shape when sliced.
  6. Repeat: Continue the spreading and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture until all are used.
  7. Chill (optional): For best results, wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and to firm up the rolls for easier slicing.
  8. Slice: Remove the chilled rolls from the refrigerator and use a sharp knife to slice each roll into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels.
  9. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley on top of the pinwheels before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.

Notes

  • Using well-cooked, shredded chicken ensures a tender bite and better integration of flavors.
  • If you prefer, substitute flour tortillas with low-carb or gluten-free wraps to suit dietary needs.
  • These pinwheels can be made ahead and refrigerated or even frozen for later use.
  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the filling mixture.
  • They make an excellent party appetizer or game day snack, easy to serve and eat by hand.
