Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 (4.5oz) cans of chunk chicken breast (or 8 ounces of any cooked chicken)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons diced green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, chicken, cheddar cheese, green onions, bell peppers, cilantro, and taco seasoning. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth and fully combined.
-
Lay one tortilla flat and spread about one-quarter of the chicken mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
Roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
-
Place the tortilla rolls into the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour so they can firm up before slicing.
-
Use a sharp knife to slice each tortilla roll into 1 to 1 ½ inch pinwheels. Arrange onto a serving tray and serve chilled.
