Ingredients
These pinwheels require just a handful of ingredients, most of which you probably already have in your pantry:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Feel free to substitute the cream cheese with a goat cheese for a tangier flavor or use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist. Cooking is all about making it your own, after all!
Instructions
Ready to roll up some goodness? Follow these steps:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the shredded chicken, dried cranberries, and chopped green onions to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay out each tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous amount of the chicken mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a little space at the edges.
- Tightly roll up each tortilla, making sure to keep the filling inside. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. This helps the pinwheels hold their shape when you slice them.
- After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange them on a platter and serve.
Remember, the key to a perfect roll is patience — take your time and enjoy the process!
