Description

Crack Chicken Pinwheels are a delightful fusion of creamy, savory chicken and rich cheese, all wrapped in a soft tortilla. Each bite bursts with flavor, featuring a hint of ranch seasoning and a satisfying crunch from the crispy bacon, making them irresistible.


Ingredients

  • Chicken: 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • Cheese: 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • Cheese: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Bacon: 6 slices, cooked and crumbled
  • Ranch: 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • Tortillas: 4 large flour tortillas
  • Green Onions: 1/4 cup, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, ranch seasoning, and chopped green onions until well mixed.
  2. Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface and spread a generous amount of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Starting from one end, tightly roll the tortilla into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  4. Wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice the roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
  6. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: These pinwheels can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: Use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lighter option, or swap out the bacon for diced bell peppers for a vegetarian version.
