Description
Savory and creamy Crack Chicken Pinwheels, filled with shredded chicken, smoky bacon, and melted cheddar, perfect for gatherings, game day, or snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken (about 140 g)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (8 tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (about 4 slices)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice; about 113 g)
- 4 large tortillas (10-inch flour tortillas recommended)
- 1 green onion, chopped (optional, for freshness and color)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, ranch dressing, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Lay one tortilla flat and spread a portion of the chicken mixture evenly over it, leaving a small border at the edge. Use about 1/4 of the filling per tortilla.
- Roll the tortilla tightly into a log, pressing gently to compress the filling.
- Slice each log into pinwheels (about 6 slices per tortilla) using a sharp serrated knife for clean edges.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Secure with toothpicks if necessary and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
For a firmer filling, chill the mixture for 10–15 minutes or add softened cream cheese. Pinwheels can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
