A creamy filling made with chicken taco flavors is spread over a soft flour tortilla and rolled up to make the most delicious Mexican pinwheels ever!
Ingredients
▢12 oz cream cheese, softened to room temp (my packages are 8oz, so I used a package and a half)
▢1/2 cup sour cream
▢2 cups shredded chicken **see recipe notes below
▢1.5 Tbsp taco seasoning (choose your favorite)
▢1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
▢10 oz can of diced tomatoes with green chiles, very well drained
▢1 1/2 tsp garlic, finely minced
▢5 green onions, sliced thinly
▢3/4 - 1 cup cilantro, chopped finely (adjust to your tastes)
▢8 burrito sized flour tortillas
▢fresh minced cilantro, for garnish optional
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, stirring until well combined.
Lay flour tortilla down on work surface and spread about 1/4 cup (amount will vary from person to person) evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2 - 1 inch border all around.
Start at the bottom of the tortilla (closest to you), and roll up tightly towards the top, like a cigar. Place roll seam side down on prepared pan.
Repeat with remaining tortillas and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to several hours to chill and firm up.
Use a sharp, serrated knife to slice roll into 1 inch pinwheels and serve.
SHREDDED CHICKEN RECOMMENDATIONS:
Tequila Lime Chicken - cook as directed, then shred (this gives the best flavor)
Leftover cooked chicken from another recipe
Rotisserie chicken
Canned chicken (this is the easiest option, but not the best flavor)
