Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups Cooked chicken, shredded
- 0.5 cup Black beans, rinsed and drained
- 0.5 cup Sweet corn kernels
- 1 4 oz can Diced green chilies
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 5 pieces Large flour tortillas
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and taco seasoning. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 2
Add the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced green chilies, and chopped cilantro to the mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1/5th of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
Step 4
Carefully roll the tortilla up tightly, starting from one end and working to the other. Once rolled, set it aside seam-side down.
Step 5
Repeat the spreading and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch pinwheels. Discard the ends if they are uneven.
Step 7
Place the pinwheels on a serving platter or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Step 8
Serve chilled or at room temperature as an appetizer, snack, or party dish.
