Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1½ Tbsp ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 to 2 Tbsp milk
- ¾ cup chopped cooked bacon
- 1 cup cooked chopped chicken
Wrap
- 4 or 5 large burrito tortillas (10-inch size)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon of milk, chopped cooked bacon, and cooked chopped chicken. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Add more milk if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Spread the mixture: Evenly spread about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto each large burrito tortilla, covering the surface uniformly but leaving a small margin around the edges.
- Roll the tortillas: Roll each tortilla up gently but tightly to ensure the filling stays inside and the roll holds its shape when sliced.
- Chill the rolls: Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the cream cheese to firm up, which makes slicing easier and keeps the pinwheels intact.
- Slice and serve: After chilling, trim off the ends of each roll to create neat pinwheels, then cut the rolls into approximately 1-inch thick slices. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken from leftovers or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Adjust the milk quantity to achieve your desired filling consistency.
- For added flavor, consider incorporating chopped green onions or fresh herbs into the filling.
- These pinwheels can be prepared a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated until ready to serve.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute the tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
