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
  • 12 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Wrap Ingredients:

  • 4 large flavored tortillas

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Stir the ingredients thoroughly until your filling looks creamy and completely blended.
  3. Select a flavored tortilla and lay it flat on a clean cutting board.
  4. Spread a thick, even layer of the chicken mixture across the tortilla, leaving a small ½-inch border around each edge.
  5. Carefully roll the tortilla from one side to the other, ensuring your filling stays compact and tight.
  6. Repeat the spreading and rolling process with each remaining tortilla.
  7. Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap, creating a secure cylinder shape.
  8. Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for at least 2 hours, allowing the filling to set and flavors to meld.
  9. Remove plastic wrap and slice each roll into ½-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife.
  10. 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.
