Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Servings 4

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
  • 4 burrito tortillas

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Lay one tortilla flat and spread about one-quarter of the chicken mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. Roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  4. Place the tortilla rolls into the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour so they can firm up before slicing.

  5. Use a sharp knife to slice each tortilla roll into 1 to 1 ½ inch pinwheels. Arrange onto a serving tray and serve chilled.

Recipe Notes

  • Chill before slicing for cleaner pinwheels

  • Great for parties, lunchboxes, and game day
  • Serve with salsa or ranch for dipping
