Ingredients
  

2 large flour tortillas

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (using rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons chili sauce (adjust according to your spice preference)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded lettuce (romaine or green leaf for crunch)

1/2 cup diced tomatoes (cherry or Roma works well)

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/2 cup shredded cheese (pepper jack for heat or cheddar for a milder taste)

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, chili sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Use a spatula to mix thoroughly until you achieve a creamy, cohesive filling that is well-incorporated.

    Spread the Mixture: Place the flour tortillas flat on a clean, dry surface. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, evenly spread half of the chicken filling onto each tortilla, ensuring to leave about a 1-inch border around the edges for easier rolling.

      Add the Veggies: Layer the filling with the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and chopped green onions. Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the tortillas, making sure everything is distributed well for the perfect bite.

        Roll It Up: Starting from one edge of the tortilla, carefully roll it up tightly into a cylindrical shape. Take your time to keep the fillings secure inside the wrap. Once fully rolled, place the tortilla seam-side down to help hold it together.

          Slice into Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels. This size makes for easy handling and vibrant presentation. Arrange the sliced pinwheels neatly on a serving platter.

            Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves over the top of the pinwheels for an aromatic finish. Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer, or chill them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours for a refreshing option.
