Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
- 1/2 cup plant-based cream cheese, cold
- 1/2 cup shredded plant-based cheese
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning (natural)
Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Cook and Crumble Smoked Turkey Bacon: Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain excess fat on paper towels and crumble into bite-size pieces.
- Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced or shredded cooked chicken breast, plant-based cream cheese, shredded plant-based cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and ranch seasoning (natural). Stir in the crumbled turkey bacon until evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly spread the chicken mixture over each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly, ensuring no filling spills out. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the pinwheel rolls from the refrigerator and slice into 1-inch rounds using a sharp knife. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use cold plant-based cream cheese to keep the filling firm and easier to spread.
- Chill pinwheels after rolling to maintain shape and ease slicing.
- Use a sharp serrated knife for even slices without squishing the filling.
- Taste test and adjust seasoning before spreading the filling.
- Enjoy pinwheels within a few hours for best freshness.
