Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup crumbled cooked bacon
- 1–2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon milk
Wrap Ingredients:
- 4 large flavored tortillas
Instructions
- Grab a large mixing bowl and combine 2 cups shredded chicken, 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1 cup cheddar cheese, ½ cup crumbled bacon, and 1-2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix. Add 1 tbsp milk if your mixture feels dry.
- Stir the ingredients thoroughly until your filling looks creamy and completely blended.
- Select a flavored tortilla and lay it flat on a clean cutting board.
- Spread a thick, even layer of the chicken mixture across the tortilla, leaving a small ½-inch border around each edge.
- Carefully roll the tortilla from one side to the other, ensuring your filling stays compact and tight.
- Repeat the spreading and rolling process with each remaining tortilla.
- Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap, creating a secure cylinder shape.
- Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for at least 2 hours, allowing the filling to set and flavors to meld.
- Remove plastic wrap and slice each roll into ½-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife.
- Arrange your pinwheels on a serving platter and garnish with optional chopped herbs for extra color and flavor.
Notes
- Choose flour tortillas that are fresh and soft for easier rolling without cracking.
- Add a splash of milk to the filling mixture if the texture seems too thick or difficult to spread evenly.
- Refrigerating the rolls overnight allows flavors to blend and makes slicing cleaner and more precise.
- For a low-carb version, swap tortillas with large lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps to reduce carbohydrate content.
