- 1.5 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or finely diced
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 oz dry ranch seasoning mix packet
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp green onions, thinly sliced
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to make Zesty Ranch Chicken Pinwheels
- Ensure the 1.5 cups of cooked chicken breast are finely shredded or diced. This will help the mixture spread evenly and hold together in the pinwheels.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the 8 oz softened cream cheese and the 1 oz dry ranch seasoning mix packet. Use a rubber spatula or electric mixer to combine them until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Add the shredded chicken, 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 2 tbsp thinly sliced green onions, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to the cream cheese mixture.
- Gently fold all the ingredients together until evenly distributed. Avoid overmixing to maintain a good texture.
- Lay one of the 10-inch large flour tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Spread about one-quarter of the chicken mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, almost to the edges.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll the tortilla into a log. The tighter you roll, the better your pinwheels will hold their shape.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
- Wrap each rolled tortilla log tightly in plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the mixture to set.
- Once chilled, unwrap each log and use a sharp knife to slice them into 3/4-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange them on a platter and serve immediately.
