Description

Crack Chicken Pinwheels are a mouthwatering combination of juicy shredded chicken, creamy ranch dressing, and melty cheese, all wrapped in a soft tortilla. Each bite offers a delightful crunch from the fresh green onions and a burst of flavor that will keep you coming back for more.


Ingredients

  • Chicken: 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • Dressing: 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • Cheese: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Tortillas: 4 large flour tortillas
  • Green Onions: 1/4 cup chopped
  • Bacon: 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and crumbled bacon 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.
  3. Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the filling is secure inside.
  4. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Wrap each pinwheel in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Once chilled, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels and serve on a platter.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: These pinwheels can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
