Ingredients

  • 2 Tyson Frozen Grilled & Ready Chicken Breasts cooked and shredded
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 8 taco-sized flour tortillas
  • 12 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 10 oz can diced tomatoes with green chiles drained
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro
  • Salsa guacamole, etc for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, drained diced tomatoes, garlic and cilantro until well combined.
  • Lay the flour tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Tightly roll up each tortilla. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to overnight.
  • Once firm, use a sharp knife to slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheel slices.
  • Arrange the pinwheel slices on a platter, garnish with extra chopped cilantro if desired. Serve with salsa, guacamole or other dipping sauces on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use a rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked chicken to save time.
  • Make sure to drain the canned tomatoes very well.
  • Chilling the rolls before slicing helps them stay together better.
  • Keep chilled until ready to serve for best slicing and freshness.
  • Add extras like black beans, corn, jalapenos or favorite taco toppings to customize.
