Description
These Cheesy Chicken Taco Pinwheels are the ultimate party appetizer—loaded with seasoned chicken, cream cheese, cheddar, and taco flavors rolled into a flour tortilla, then sliced into bite-sized spirals. Perfect for game day, potlucks, or any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup salsa (drained of excess liquid)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, taco seasoning, cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, salsa, green onions, and cilantro. Mix until well combined.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Tightly roll up the tortilla, applying gentle pressure to keep the filling compact. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to firm up, making slicing easier.
- Unwrap the rolls and slice each into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
For a spicier version, add a diced jalapeño or use hot salsa. These pinwheels can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator. Garnish with extra cilantro and a dollop of sour cream before serving.
