Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Chicken: Shred cooked chicken if not already prepared. Combine it with other ingredients for best flavor.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions. Mix until creamy.
  3. Prepare the Tortilla: Lay a tortilla flat, spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture onto the center, leaving space around edges.
  4. Roll the Tortilla: Roll the tortilla tightly, enclosing the filling completely. Tuck in filling as you roll.
  5. Repeat for Remaining Pinwheels: Use the same method for remaining tortillas, packing them with filling.
  6. Chill for Enhanced Flavor: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Slice into Pinwheels: Unwrap tortillas, slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels, and arrange them on a platter.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with ranch dressing or a favorite dipping sauce.
