Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese Use full-fat for creaminess.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Adds flavor and creaminess.
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled Thick-cut, cooked until crisp.
- 1 packet ranch seasoning Provides concentrated flavor. Use store-bought for convenience.
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded Juicy and savory. Use plain rotisserie.
- 4 large flour tortillas Fresh tortillas to prevent cracking.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Fold in cheddar, crumbled bacon, ranch seasoning, and shredded chicken until evenly distributed.
- Lay each tortilla flat. Spread the filling evenly across, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Roll each tortilla tightly into a log, sealing the edge under to keep filling inside. Slice into 1-inch pinwheels.
- Arrange pinwheels cut-side up on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature with toothpicks or dipping sauces.
Notes
Chill the filling if it gets too soft. Use a serrated knife for slicing to avoid crushing the pinwheels.
