Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups shredded chicken
- 4 ounces bacon, cooked to crispy and crumbled (about 4 slices)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning)
Wraps
- 4 large tortillas
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded chicken, crispy crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and ranch seasoning mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Pinwheels: Place ¼ of the creamy chicken-bacon mixture in the center of each tortilla. Spread the filling evenly all the way to the edges of the tortilla to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Roll Tortillas: Tightly roll each filled tortilla into a log shape, then place seam side down on a plate to help keep their form intact while chilling.
- Chill Rolls: Cover the rolled tortillas with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes. This chilling step firms up the filling, making it easier to slice cleanly.
- Slice and Serve: Using a sharp serrated knife, trim off the ends of each roll, then slice into 1-inch pinwheel pieces. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- The mixture must be spread all the way to the edges of the tortilla for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Chilling the rolled wraps is crucial to help the pinwheels hold their shape when sliced.
- Use a serrated knife for clean cuts without squishing the filling.
- These pinwheels are best served fresh but can be refrigerated and enjoyed within 1-2 days.
- Customize by adding chopped green onions, jalapeños, or swapping cheddar for another cheese variety.
