Crack Chicken Pinwheels
Ingredients:
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (leftover rotisserie chicken works well)
8 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup crumbled cooked bacon
1-2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
1 tablespoon milk
4 large flavored tortillas (spinach or sun-dried tomato)
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, milk, and ranch seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Lay out tortillas on a flat surface and evenly distribute the chicken mixture on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll up each tortilla tightly, resembling a jellyroll, starting from one end. Ensure the filling is secure and tightly packed. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
Cover the rolled tortillas with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow them to firm up.
When ready to serve, remove tortilla rolls from the refrigerator and slice them into ½-inch thick pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and garnish with additional green onions if desired.
These Crack Chicken Pinwheels will steal the spotlight at any gathering. The fusion of the creamy, savory filling with the soft tortilla creates an explosion of flavors that will have your taste buds craving more. So, bookmark this recipe because once you make it, you’re destined to become the most sought-after host or hostess in town. Trust me; disappointment is not on the menu!
