Ingredients
Filling ingredients
- 2 cups diced cooked chicken Rotisserie chicken works great.
- 1 package cream cheese, softened 8 ounces.
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning Or 1 tablespoon homemade ranch mix.
- 8 ounces cooked and diced thick-cut turkey bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar-jack cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wraps
- 2–3 pieces burrito-size tortillas 10–12 inch.
Instructions
Preparation
- Soften the cream cheese on the counter for 15–30 minutes so it mixes smoothly.
- In a large bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and ranch seasoning until smooth and evenly blended.
- Fold in diced cooked chicken, diced turkey bacon, and shredded cheddar-jack. Season with a little salt and pepper; taste and adjust.
Assembly
- Lay a burrito-size tortilla flat. Spread about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the mixture across the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch margin at the far edge.
- Roll the tortilla tightly from the near edge into a firm cylinder. Place seam-side down on a plate or baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Chill the rolled cylinders in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up — this prevents squashing while slicing.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into ~1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve.
Notes
Serve pinwheels at room temperature or slightly chilled. Great for appetizers, potlucks, and parties. Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days in the refrigerator.
