15-Minute Crack Chicken Pinwheels
Quick, cheesy, and flavorful pinwheels featuring shredded chicken, bacon, cheddar, and ranch-seasoned cream cheese, perfect for parties or appetizers.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix 1-ounce
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 0.5 cup bacon cooked and crumbled (about 6 slices)
- 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch
- 2 tbsp green onions or chives optional, chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until smooth and well blended.
- Step 2: Add the shredded chicken, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and optional green onions to the bowl. Mix until evenly combined.
- Step 3: Lay one tortilla flat and spread about one-fourth of the mixture evenly over it, leaving a small border on one side.
- Step 4: Roll the tortilla tightly starting from the edge opposite the clean border. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Step 5: Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Step 6: Unwrap the rolls and slice each into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife. Arrange on a platter and serve.
Notes
For speed, use rotisserie chicken and pre-cooked bacon crumbles. Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for smooth filling. Chilling is essential for clean slices. Rolls can be made a day ahead and sliced just before serving.
