# How-To Steps:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until completely smooth and creamy.
02 - Add shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
03 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread one-quarter of the chicken mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
04 - Tightly roll up the tortilla into a log shape. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
05 - Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up for easier slicing.
06 - Remove from the fridge, unwrap, and slice each roll into 6 pinwheels using a sharp knife. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The combination of creamy cheese, smoky bacon, and tender chicken creates an incredibly addictive flavor that keeps everyone coming back for more
- They come together in just 15 minutes of active prep time but taste like you spent much longer perfecting them
02 -
- Cold tortillas can crack when you try to roll them, so let yours sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before starting
- A serrated knife works better than a straight blade for cutting through the tortillas without squishing the filling
03 -
- If your tortillas are cracking at the edges, try microwaving them for 10-15 seconds to soften them up before rolling
- Use a gentle sawing motion when slicing to maintain clean edges on each pinwheel
