Description

Chicken Salad Pinwheels are a delicious and easy appetizer perfect for parties and lunches. These roll-ups combine creamy chicken salad with crunchy ingredients wrapped in a tortilla.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely diced Granny Smith apple
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 3 9-inch (burrito size) flour tortillas
  • 12 ounces (16 slices) rotisserie seasoned deli chicken slices
  • 9 slices Monterey Jack cheese
  • Romaine lettuce leaves, ribs removed

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cranberries, apple, pecans, scallions, mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper; mix until incorporated.
  2. Spread 1/3 of the mixture evenly onto each tortilla.
  3. In center of tortilla, place 3 slices of cheese next to one another.
  4. Next, layer enough chicken slices to cover tortilla.
  5. Then lastly, add your romaine lettuce on top of that.
  6. Starting at the short end, roll tortillas up tightly and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set up. (If chilling for longer than one hour, wrap tightly in plastic wrap before placing in the refrigerator.)
  7. When ready to serve, slice into 1-inch pieces (using a serrated knife) and place on a serving platter, either stacked or in a spiral pattern.
