Ingredients (~18 pinwheels)
- 12 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 Tbsp Ranch seasoning
- 1 1/2 Tbsp milk
- ~2 1/4 cups finely diced cooked chicken
- 12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 5 large flour tortillas
Make the Cream Cheese Base
Place the cream cheese, Ranch seasoning, and milk in a large bowl.
Use a hand mixer to beat until smooth – the ranch powder clumps at first but breaks down after ~30 seconds of mixing.
Add the Filling Ingredients
Stir in the chicken and bacon until mixed evenly throughout.
Add the cheddar cheese and green onions; mix until everything is well distributed.
The mixture should hold together but still be spreadable.
Prep the Tortillas and Roll
Place tortillas on a microwave-safe plate with a damp paper towel on top. Microwave for 20 seconds.
This makes them pliable and prevents tearing when you roll them up.
Spread about 1/5 of the mixture on each tortilla, leaving a 1/2 inch border on all sides.
Roll them up tightly – start from one end and keep the filling compressed as you roll.
Chill and Slice
Wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
The chilling firms up the cream cheese so they slice cleanly without falling apart.
Slice each roll into ~6-8 pieces using a sharp knife and serve immediately.
