Shredded chicken, smoky bacon, cheddar, and ranch seasoning rolled in soft tortillas for flavorful handheld bites.
# What You'll Need:
→ Filling
01 -
8 ounces softened cream cheese
02 -
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
03 -
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
04 -
6 slices cooked crispy bacon, crumbled
05 -
3 tablespoons sliced green onions
06 -
2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
→ Assembly
07 -
4 burrito-size soft flour tortillas
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a large bowl, stir together shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, bacon crumbles, green onions, and ranch seasoning until well mixed.
02 -
Fold in softened cream cheese, mixing until the mixture is creamy and evenly combined but still spreadable.
03 -
Place one tortilla flat on a clean surface and evenly spread one quarter of the filling over it, leaving approximately 1 inch border on all sides.
04 -
Carefully roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling fully. Set seam side down on a platter to prevent unrolling.
05 -
Cover the rolled tortillas with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the filling to firm.
06 -
Remove from refrigerator and slice each roll into approximately 1 to 1.5 inch thick rounds. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Softening cream cheese beforehand ensures smooth blending and easy spreading.
02 -
Chilling the rolled tortillas before slicing keeps the pinwheels intact and eases cutting.
03 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to three days; flavors improve after resting overnight.
