Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce, mixing well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
- Assemble the pinwheels: Lay out one flour tortilla on a flat surface, then spread a quarter of the chicken and BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the tortilla. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
- Roll and slice: Starting at one edge, tightly roll up the tortilla with the filling inside. Once rolled, slice the roll into approximately 1-inch pinwheel pieces. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve or chill: Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter. They can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set before serving, making them great for advance preparation.
Notes
- Use your favorite BBQ sauce for different flavor profiles—from sweet to smoky or spicy.
- For a healthier twist, substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or low-carb tortillas.
- If you prefer a warm appetizer, bake the pinwheels at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until the cheese melts.
- These pinwheels can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Optional: add sliced green onions or chopped cilantro for extra freshness.
