Description

Easy no-bake Chicken Taco Pinwheels are a crowd-pleasing appetizer packed with rotisserie chicken, creamy cheese, and a hint of spice. These chilled tortilla roll-ups are perfect for parties, game days, or any occasion needing a quick and flavorful snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup salsa (drained if watery)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1–2 tablespoons jalapeños, minced
  • 1 dash hot sauce (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 6 large burrito-size flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, salsa, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, hot sauce, taco seasoning, cilantro, and chopped chicken. Mix until well blended.
  2. Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread approximately 1/6 of the mixture evenly across the entire surface.
  3. Roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other.
  4. Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap to help maintain shape.
  5. Place all wrapped tortillas in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour.
  6. When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap, trim the ends of each tortilla roll, and slice each into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
  7. Arrange the chicken taco pinwheels on a platter and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For a milder version, omit the jalapeños and hot sauce.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
  • Chilling the rolled tortillas is crucial for clean slicing.
  • These pinwheels can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Store sliced pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
