Ingredients 🛒
- 1 can (12.5 oz) chunk chicken breast, drained
or shredded rotisserie chicken - 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet dry ranch seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Optional: fresh spinach or finely diced bell peppers
Instructions 👩🍳
1. Make the Filling 🥣
In a medium mixing bowl, combine:
- drained chicken
- softened cream cheese
- dry ranch seasoning
- shredded cheddar cheese
Mix everything together until smooth and well blended.
If you want to add fresh spinach or diced bell peppers, fold them in at this step. 🫑🥬
2. Spread the Mixture 🌯
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface.
Divide the chicken mixture evenly between all 4 tortillas, then spread it into a smooth layer all the way to the edges.
3. Roll Them Up ✨
Starting from one side, roll each tortilla up tightly into a long log.
Try to keep them snug so the pinwheels hold their shape when sliced.
4. Slice and Serve 🔪
Use a sharp knife to cut each rolled tortilla into 1-inch slices.
Serve them right away, or cover and chill them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions 🍽️
These pinwheels are wonderful served with:
- fresh veggie sticks 🥕
- fruit on the side 🍇
- extra ranch dressing for dipping
Helpful Tips 💡
- Softened cream cheese mixes much more easily and gives you a smoother filling.
- Chilling the rolled tortillas for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing can help make cleaner pinwheels.
- Rotisserie chicken gives even more flavor if you have some on hand.
- Don’t overfill the tortillas, or the filling may squeeze out when rolling.
