Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (e.g., rotisserie)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon
- 1-2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix (to taste)
- 1 tbsp milk (optional, for a smoother filling)
- 4 large flavored tortillas (e.g., spinach, sun-dried tomato)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, ranch seasoning, and milk (if needed for a creamier texture). Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Lay Out the Tortillas: Place one tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spread the Filling: Evenly spread a portion of the chicken mixture across the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll the Tortilla: Starting at one edge, tightly roll up the tortilla to secure the filling inside.
- Repeat: Continue spreading and rolling the remaining tortillas.
- Wrap and Chill: Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- Slice into Pinwheels: Unwrap the rolls and slice them into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
- Serve: Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions or fresh herbs, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
