Ingredients
  

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup salsa

1 tsp taco seasoning

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup black olives, sliced (optional)

4 large flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, taco seasoning, chopped green onions, and black olives (if using). Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Spread the Mixture: Place one flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Spread a generous portion of the chicken mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

      Roll it Up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly towards the opposite edge, making sure to keep the filling inside. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas and filling.

        Chill the Pinwheels: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the pinwheels maintain their shape and makes slicing easier.

          Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange them on a platter and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
