Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
• 8 oz softened cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon
• 1-2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon milk (for a smoother mixture)
• 4 large flavored tortillas (spinach or sun-dried tomato are excellent choices)

Preparation Method

1. Prepare the filling by mixing shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, ranch seasoning, and milk in a bowl until smooth.
2. Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface without wrinkles.
3. Spread a portion of the filling evenly on the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Roll the tortilla tightly from one edge into a log shape.
5. Repeat the spreading and rolling for the remaining tortillas and filling.
6. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
7. After chilling, slice each roll into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
8. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and garnish with chopped green onions or herbs before serving.

Tips and Conclusion

Make it spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce or diced jalapeños to the filling for a kick of heat.
Switch up the cheese: Substitute cheddar with pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
Meal prep: These pinwheels are perfect for making ahead. Prepare them the night before and slice right before serving.
Vegetarian option: Replace chicken and bacon with diced vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, and shredded carrots.
