Ingredients
  

2 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned, drained)

1/4 cup diced red onion (optional)

1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Salsa or guacamole for dipping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, sliced black olives, taco seasoning, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.

      Spread the Mixture:

        - Place one tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

          Add Fresh Ingredients:

            - Sprinkle half of the shredded lettuce evenly over the top of the filling.

              Roll It Up:

                - Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla up, keeping the filling intact. Repeat the process with the second tortilla and the remaining filling.

                  Chill:

                    - Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step helps firm up the pinwheels, making them easier to slice.

                      Slice and Serve:

                        - Once chilled, remove the pinwheels from the refrigerator. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch thick pieces. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve with salsa or guacamole for dipping.

                          Enjoy!

                            - Gather your loved ones, serve the cheesy chicken taco pinwheels, and enjoy a delightful finger food treat perfect for parties, game days, or casual get-togethers!
