Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Assembly
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese together until well combined and creamy.
- Spread the filling: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface and evenly spread a quarter of the chicken and cheese mixture over the entire surface.
- Roll the tortillas: Starting at one edge, tightly roll up the tortilla into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Slice into pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick slices, forming pinwheels.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter. They can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for easier slicing and better flavor meld.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika to the filling.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with pepper jack for a spicy twist.
- Keep the cream cheese softened to make spreading easier.
- Refrigerate pinwheels before slicing to help them hold their shape better.
