Chicken Taco Mexican Pinwheels
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup salsa
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large flour tortillas
Directions:
Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, salsa, taco seasoning, cilantro, red bell pepper, and green onion. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Assemble the Pinwheels:
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spread a generous portion of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the filling stays inside.
Slice and Serve:
Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled tortilla into 1-inch slices to form pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter.
Optional:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pinwheels and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Garnish and Enjoy:
Serve the pinwheels with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.
