Ingredients

• Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it out to the edges of each tortilla.
• Roll up each tortilla tightly, starting from one end to create a firm roll.
• Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap to help hold its shape, and refrigerate them for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow them to firm up.
• When ready to serve, unwrap the chilled tortilla rolls and slice them into ½-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife.
• Arrange the sliced pinwheels on a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

• For best results with the Creamy Chicken Roll-Ups, soften the cream cheese and use leftover rotisserie chicken for added flavor and convenience.

Adjust the ranch seasoning to taste and consider prepping the chicken mixture ahead of time for efficiency. Garnish with fresh herbs for a finishing touch. These tips will ensure delicious results that are sure to please your guests

Can I use canned chicken instead of cooked chicken ?

While you can use canned chicken as a substitute, the flavor and texture might not be as robust as using freshly cooked or leftover rotisserie chicken.

Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?

Absolutely! In fact, it’s recommended to refrigerate the rolled tortillas wrapped in plastic wrap for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow them to firm up before slicing. This also makes them perfect for party preparation in advance.

Can I freeze the Creamy Chicken Roll-Ups?

It’s not recommended to freeze the assembled roll-ups as the texture of the tortillas and filling may change upon thawing. However, you can freeze the chicken mixture separately and assemble the roll-ups fresh when needed.

Can I customize the ingredients in the filling?

Certainly! Feel free to personalize the filling by adding ingredients such as diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, or different types of cheese to suit your taste preferences.

How long will the Creamy Chicken Roll-Ups last in the refrigerator?

When properly stored in an airtight container, the roll-ups can last in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. However, they are best enjoyed fresh for optimal flavor and texture.
