Crack Chicken Pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer, perfect for any occasion. This version replaces bacon with your choice of meat, combined with creamy ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, and chicken. A tasty, bite-sized treat that can be prepared in advance and is sure to impress your guests!

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese, softened
  • 1½ tablespoons ranch dressing mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
  • ¾ cup chopped cooked meat of your choice (such as sausage, turkey, or ham)
  • 1 cup cooked chopped chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 4 or 5 large burrito-sized flour tortillas (10-inch)

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon of milk, cooked meat, and cooked chicken. Mix until well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of milk to reach a spreadable consistency.
  • Lay out a tortilla and spread approximately ¼ cup of the chicken mixture evenly over it.
  • Roll the tortilla tightly to ensure it holds together.
  • Wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  • After chilling, remove the plastic wrap, trim the ends of the roll, and slice into 1-inch pinwheels.

Notes

  • You can make these pinwheels ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cooked meat, such as turkey, sausage, for variety.
  • For a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese, a healthier meat choice, and whole-wheat tortillas.
