Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups Walnuts, finely chopped
- 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 5 pieces Large flour tortillas
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, shred the cooked chicken breast using a fork or your hands until it is finely shredded.
Step 2
Add the softened cream cheese, chopped walnuts, green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the chicken.
Step 3
Mix thoroughly using a spatula or your hands until all the ingredients are well combined into a smooth and evenly mixed filling.
Step 4
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the chicken mixture over the entire tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
Step 5
Tightly roll the tortilla into a log shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
Step 6
Wrap each rolled tortilla log in plastic wrap, ensuring it is tightly sealed to keep its shape. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to firm up.
Step 7
Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap from the logs. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Step 8
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
