Step-by-Step Directions on how to Make these Crack Chicken Pinwheels

In a mixing bowl, combine the light cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and ranch seasoning powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Microwave the pre-cooked bacon for 20-30 seconds and crumble or chop it roughly.

Add the cooked shredded chicken breast, crumbled cooked bacon, finely chopped red onion, and shredded low-fat cheddar cheese to the cream cheese mixture. Next, stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Lay out the 4 tortillas and spread an even layer of the chicken mixture over the entire surface of each tortilla.

Place a layer of fresh spinach leaves evenly over the chicken mixture on each tortilla.

Carefully roll up the tortillas tightly, starting from one end, to create a pinwheel.

Slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick slices to create pinwheels, each tortilla roll should be cut into 6 pinwheels.

Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for later.

Recipe Notes/Modifications:

I like using Kirkland Pre-Cooked Bacon for this recipe to save time.
Any shredded chicken breast will work, but I personally like using Kirkland Canned Chunk Chicken breast for this recipe to save time. The amount required for this recipe is 1 can drained.
Fresh baby spinach works best for this recipe. If you prefer, you can substitute with other greens like arugula or mixed baby greens.
Store the pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If I know I will not be enjoying them right away, I like storing the chicken mix in the fridge and then rolling the pinwheels before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
I love these baking dishes from amazon as they come with a lid and make storage easy!
