Crack Chicken Pinwheels
Crack Chicken Pinwheels are the ultimate easy cold party appetizer for your next gathering. Ready in just 20 minutes, these make-ahead tortilla roll ups are perfect for stress-free hosting. Loaded with creamy ranch, crispy bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese, every bite is savory and addictive.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 –4 tablespoons sour cream optional, see notes
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix dry
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken chopped slightly
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup cooked bacon crumbled (about 8 slices)
- ⅓ cup sliced green onions
- 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese (and sour cream if using) until smooth.
- Stir in the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Fold in the chicken, cheddar, bacon, and green onions until evenly combined.
- Spread the filling evenly over each tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
- Roll each tortilla up tightly.
- Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours (or overnight).
- Slice into 1-inch pinwheels with a sharp knife and serve chilled.
Notes
Use sour cream only as needed for spreadability. Too much can make the filling loose.
For the cleanest slices, chill the rolls fully and wipe the knife between cuts.
If tortillas crack, warm them for 10 seconds in the microwave before spreading and rolling.
