Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2-3 cups Shredded Cooked Chicken Use leftover rotisserie chicken for quicker prep.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Consider low-fat cream cheese for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Swap for mozzarella for a milder taste.
  • 1 packet Ranch Seasoning Mix Homemade ranch seasoning can be a great alternative.
  • 6 slices Cooked Bacon (crumbled) Turkey bacon is a healthier choice.
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions (chopped) Substitute with regular onions as an alternative.
For the Wrap
  • 4-6 large Flour Tortillas Use corn tortillas for gluten-free pinwheels.
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (for garnish) Adds a pop of color and freshness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Shred your cooked chicken to yield about 2 to 3 cups.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning mix, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions. Blend until they form a creamy filling.
  3. Lay a large flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center, leaving about an inch of space around the edges.
  4. Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla over the filling, tucking in the sides as you go.
  5. Continue the process with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture, ensuring enough filling for about 4 to 6 tortillas.
  6. Wrap the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes for easier slicing.
  7. Once chilled, slice each roll into bite-sized pinwheels, approximately 1 inch thick.
  8. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top or around your pinwheels before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing. Refrigerating rolled pinwheels for at least 30 minutes before slicing helps with clean cuts.
