Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Rub to spread evenly, season on both sides.
- Cook seasoned chicken breasts in olive oil for a few minutes until browned and cooked.
- Flip and cook on the other side until browned and cooked through. Do not overcook the chicken.
- Transfer seared and cooked chicken to a bow. Let it rest for a few minutes.
- Shred browned chicken fine.
- Add the filling ingredients to shredded chicken – softened cream cheese, grated sharp cheddar, freshly grated Parmesan, green onion, celery, enchilada sauce, salt, pepper, and crispy bacon bits.
- Mix well to combine.
- Warm the tortilla on a skillet for 5 seconds on each side. Spread a thin layer of the filling over lightly warm tortillas, leaving the edges.Tip: Do not use too much filling, it may turn the tortilla roll-ups soggy. Sprinkle extra sharp cheddar cheese and a few crispy bacon bits on top.
- Roll the tortilla very tight, ensure not to tear the tortillas, and keep the filling inside.
- Repeat the steps with the rest of the tortilla and wrap it tight into rolls.
- Wrap the wraps in plastic wrap and refrigerate them until use. To prevent tortilla crack, it’s better to allow the pinwheels wrapped in plastic wrap to rest in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes before slicing. If you plan to make it ahead, leave the roll-up in the refrigerator overnight.
- Next day when it’s party serving time slice it into pinwheels and serve with a spicy dipping sauce such as marinara sauce.
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Softened cream cheese at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
- Feel free to swap shredded chicken with your favorite meat. Turkey, crab meat, ham, or premium pork sausage browned well with a little olive oil in a cast iron pan works best. You may add other vegetables such as lettuce, diced red bell peppers, zucchini, cucumber, or a can of diced tomatoes (drained well), diced jalapenos or pickled jalapenos, and little pickled red onions.
- Add the filling and spread a thin layer over tortillas leaving the edges to prevent the filling from oozing out while you roll.
- Measure cream cheese accurately. Do not use too much filling, it may make the tortilla roll-ups soggy. Avoid using wet ingredients such as tomatoes, avocado, or soaked olives in the filling, if you prefer to use these ingredients, control the amount.
- To prevent tortilla crack, it’s better to allow the pinwheels wrapped in plastic wrap to rest in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes before slicing.
