Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and fresh spinach leaves. Stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed and coated in the cream cheese mixture.
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread approximately 1/4 of the mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch border around the edges.
Starting at one end, tightly roll up the tortilla into a log shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture.
Once all tortillas are rolled, wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up and make slicing easier.
After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp knife to slice the tortilla rolls into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter, ensuring the filling side faces up for a colorful presentation.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
