Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flour tortillas
- 2 cups smoked chicken breast
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Fold in the smoked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, red bell pepper, and cilantro. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the smoked chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
Roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to firm up slightly. This step makes them easier to cut and serve.
Unwrap the rolls and slice each log into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Serve immediately as a quick main course or an appetizer. Optionally, garnish with additional cilantro or a side of salsa for dipping.
