Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1½ Tbsp ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 to 2 Tbsp milk
- ¾ cup chopped cooked bacon
- 1 cup cooked chopped chicken
Wraps
- 4 or 5 large burrito tortillas (10-inch)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon milk, chopped cooked bacon, and cooked chopped chicken. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Add the additional tablespoon of milk if you desire a smoother, more spreadable consistency.
- Spread on tortillas: Evenly spread about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto each large tortilla, making sure to cover the surface area evenly but leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll tightly: Starting from one edge, gently but tightly roll each tortilla to form a log. Rolling firmly ensures that the pinwheels hold their shape and don’t unravel when sliced.
- Chill to firm up: Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes. This step helps the cream cheese mixture to firm up so the pinwheels slice neatly without squishing.
- Slice and serve: After chilling, trim off the ends of each tortilla roll to create clean edges, then cut the rolls into approximately 1-inch slices. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and enjoy!
Notes
- For easier slicing, chill the tortillas long enough to firm up but not freeze.
- Use cooked chicken from rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken for convenience.
- Add fresh herbs like chives or parsley to the filling for extra flavor.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch or salsa for added taste.
- These pinwheels can be made a few hours ahead and kept covered in the fridge.
