Chicken Taco Pinwheels
Description
Chicken Taco Pinwheels feature a spreadable filling made from cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt, and taco seasoning, giving a smooth and tangy base layered with shredded chicken and vegetables including corn, bell pepper, and green onion. Shredded cheddar cheese adds mild sharpness and texture. The filling is evenly spread over flatbread or tortillas, then rolled tightly and refrigerated to firm up for easy slicing.
The roll-and-chill method helps the pinwheels hold their shape when cut into thin slices, revealing swirling layers of creamy, savory filling and tender meat contrasted by fresh vegetable bits. These pinwheels offer a handheld way to enjoy the classic taco flavor profile without the mess.
Serving chilled keeps the creamy filling set and refreshing. They are great for parties, snack trays, or light meals, and garnishing with fresh cilantro and reserved bell peppers lends a fresh note and visual appeal.

Instructions
