Description
These quick and delicious chicken cranberry pinwheels are perfect for any occasion, from parties to snacks. They combine creamy cheese, savory chicken, and sweet-tart cranberries in a convenient bite-sized roll.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or finely chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped dried cranberries, shredded chicken, pecans (if using), green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Starting at one end, tightly roll the tortilla into a log. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours) to firm up.
- When ready to serve, unwrap rolls and slice each into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife. Arrange on a platter and serve cold.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to ensure easy spreading. Rolls can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Omit nuts for a nut-free version.
