Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1/2 lb rotisserie chicken (shredded)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup sun dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 ½ cups spinach (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning herbs
Wrap
- 3 large flour tortillas (or 6 smaller tortillas)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a small mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, and mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well blended.
- Add Seasonings and Vegetables: Stir in the Italian seasoning herbs, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped spinach into the chicken mixture. Mix evenly to distribute all ingredients throughout.
- Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay each tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of the filling evenly over the surface of the tortillas, ensuring the edges are covered for better rolling.
- Roll and Slice: Roll each tortilla up tightly into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortillas into 1-inch pieces to create pinwheels ready for serving.
Notes
- For a lower-fat option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and mayonnaise.
- Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil offer richer flavor; if using dry pack, consider soaking briefly to soften.
- These pinwheels are best served chilled or at room temperature but can be briefly warmed if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add fresh basil leaves or a sprinkle of garlic powder into the filling.
- Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate; consume within 2 days for best quality.
