Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups shredded chicken
- 4 ounces bacon, cooked to crispy and crumbled (about 4 slices)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning)
Base
- 4 large tortillas
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, crispy crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and ranch seasoning until fully combined and creamy.
- Prepare Tortillas: Place a quarter of the creamy chicken bacon ranch mixture in the center of each tortilla and spread it evenly all the way to the edges.
- Roll Tortillas: Tightly roll up each tortilla with the mixture inside and place them seam side down on a plate to secure the rolls.
- Chill Rolls: Cover the rolled tortillas with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to firm up the filling and make slicing easier.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the rolls from the fridge, trim off the ends with a sharp serrated knife, and then slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly cooked and cooled shredded chicken.
- Bacon can be cooked in the oven or on the stovetop until crispy.
- Chilling the rolls helps them hold their shape when sliced.
- Customize by adding chopped green onions or fresh herbs to the filling.
- Use flour tortillas for easier rolling and better texture.
