Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 Knife sharp
  • 1 plastic wrap

Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions

Tortillas

  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  • Lay out each tortilla and evenly spread a generous layer of the chicken and cheese mixture over the entire surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Carefully roll each tortilla tightly to encase the filling. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap to hold its shape.
  • Place the wrapped tortillas in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill and firm up. This helps in slicing cleanly later.

Serving

  • Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice each tortilla roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve with additional ranch dressing or your favorite dip.

Storage

  • Store any leftover pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use room temperature cream cheese for easy mixing. Chill the rolled tortillas before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
Ingredient Substitutions: Substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella for a milder flavor. Use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lighter option.
How to Serve: Serve with extra ranch dressing or a spicy buffalo sauce for dipping.
Storage & Freshness: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the rolls a day in advance and slice just before serving for best presentation.
