Ingredients You’ll Need

3 chicken breasts, cooked or grilled – Use pre-cooked chicken or grill your own for that fresh, smoky flavor.
1 pound thick-cut bacon, cooked – The crispier, the better!
8 ounces cream cheese – Softened to make mixing easier.
1 cup shredded cheddar and jack cheese mix – A tasty blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack adds a cheesy kick.
1/2 packet Ranch Seasoning – Adds that classic ranch flavor we all love.
4 large burrito-sized tortillas – Big enough to roll all that delicious filling into.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

Start by cooking your chicken breasts if you haven’t already. Finely chop the cooked chicken and bacon into 1/4-inch pieces. You want small, uniform bits so that everything mixes together evenly.

In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, bacon, cream cheese, and shredded cheese mix. Sprinkle in half a packet of Ranch Seasoning and gently stir everything together until well combined. Make sure that every bite will have a bit of that cheesy, savory goodness!

2. Assemble the Pinwheels

Next, grab your tortillas. Lay one tortilla flat and spread a thin, even layer of the chicken-bacon-cheese mixture across the surface. Be careful not to overfill, or they’ll be tough to roll!

Once the filling is spread, roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Let them sit seam-side down for a few minutes to allow the filling to settle and the tortillas to seal.

3. Slice and Serve

Now for the fun part! Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 3/4 to 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange them on a platter and get ready to impress your guests!

Tips for the Perfect Pinwheels

Make Ahead: These pinwheels are perfect for prepping ahead. Assemble and refrigerate the rolls, then slice them just before serving for the freshest presentation.
Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing—it’ll make combining the ingredients easier and smoother.
Customizable: Feel free to switch up the ingredients! Swap the cheddar and jack for your favorite cheese or try adding some diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
