Description
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups (300 g) shredded cooked chicken

Ingredients
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the chicken mixture over the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
- Roll It Up: Starting at one end, tightly roll the tortilla into a cylinder. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Notes
- Prevent Soggy Tortillas: Ensure the chicken and bacon are well-drained before mixing, and avoid overloading the tortillas with the filling to keep them firm and easy to slice.
- Chilling is Key: Refrigerating the rolled tortillas for at least 30 minutes helps them hold their shape, making slicing cleaner and ensuring the pinwheels stay intact.
- Customization Options: Add diced jalapeños for spice, green onions for freshness, or swap chicken for veggies to make vegetarian-friendly pinwheels. The recipe is versatile and easy to adapt!
