Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup ranch dressing

1/2 cup crispy bacon bits (approximately 6 slices of cooked bacon)

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

4 large flour tortillas

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: additional chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, crispy bacon bits, and finely chopped green onions. Use a spatula or spoon to mix thoroughly until all ingredients are uniformly blended. Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper as desired.

    Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean, dry surface. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread approximately one-quarter of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, ensuring to leave a small border (about 1 inch) around the edges. Press down gently on the filling to help it adhere to the tortilla.

      Roll the Tortilla: Starting at one end of the tortilla, carefully roll it up tightly toward the opposite end, keeping the filling snugly inside. Ensure that no filling spills out during the rolling process. Repeat this assembly process with the remaining tortillas and chicken filling.

        Chill the Pinwheels: Once all tortillas are assembled and rolled, wrap each pinwheel tightly in plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and makes slicing the pinwheels easier.

          Slice and Serve: After the pinwheels have chilled, unwrap them and place them on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into approximately 1-inch thick pieces. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter. For a decorative touch, sprinkle with additional chopped fresh herbs.

            Enjoy: Serve these tasty Cheddar Bacon Ranch Chicken Pinwheels as a delightful appetizer, a fun snack, or a crowd-pleasing party dish!
