Here’s a delicious and easy Mexican Chicken Pinwheels recipe:
Ingredients:
• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the filling – In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, cilantro, and all the spices. Stir until smooth and well combined.
2. Add chicken – Fold in the shredded chicken and mix until evenly distributed.
3. Assemble pinwheels – Spread a thin, even layer of the mixture onto each tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges.
4. Roll tightly – Roll each tortilla up tightly, then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (this helps them hold their shape when slicing).
5. Slice & serve – Remove from the fridge, unwrap, and slice into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled.
Optional Add-ins:
• Diced jalapeños for extra heat
• Chopped black olives
• Green onions for extra flavor
