Filling
- 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
Wrap
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, and ranch seasoning mix. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the pinwheels: Lay each burrito-size tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the prepared filling over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll and chill: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a log. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and make slicing easier.
- Slice and serve: Once chilled, unwrap the rolls and slice each into 1-inch pinwheel pieces using a sharp knife. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and enjoy immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
- You can substitute ranch seasoning with your favorite ranch dressing mix or seasoning blend.
- For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure easy mixing.
- These pinwheels are best served within 24 hours for maximum freshness.
- They can be made ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
