Crack Chicken Pinwheels with Bacon, Ranch, and Cheese Recipe


  • Author: Isabella
  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 24 pinwheels (6 slices per tortilla) 1x

Description

Delicious Crack Chicken Pinwheels packed with creamy ranch-flavored chicken, crispy bacon, melted cheddar, and green onions all rolled up in soft tortillas, perfect as a flavorful appetizer or snack.


Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

Wrap

  • 4 burrito-size tortillas

Instructions

  1. Combine Filling Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir well to mix all the ingredients evenly.
  2. Mix Thoroughly. Add the softened cream cheese to the bowl and mash and stir everything together until thoroughly combined into a creamy filling.
  3. Prepare Tortillas. Lay each burrito-size tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of 1/4 of the filling mixture onto each tortilla, leaving approximately an inch border around the edges to avoid spilling when rolling.
  4. Roll the Tortillas. Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form pinwheels, ensuring the filling stays inside. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a platter.
  5. Chill the Rolls. Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate the rolled pinwheels for at least one hour to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld.
  6. Slice and Serve. After chilling, remove the rolls from the refrigerator and slice each into 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick pinwheels. Arrange them on a serving platter and enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to blend easily with the other ingredients.
  • For extra flavor, consider warming the tortillas slightly before spreading the filling to make rolling easier.
  • These pinwheels can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Serve with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce for added taste.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free if desired.
