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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Starting at one end, tightly roll up the tortilla into a log shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp knife to slice the tortilla rolls into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Step 7
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter, ensuring the filling side faces up for a colorful presentation.
Step 8
Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
