Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Add the chicken and 2 1/2 cups of the Monterey Jack cheese to a large bowl and toss together. Set aside.
- Heat the butter, enchilada sauce and hot sauce and in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Remove from the heat. Transfer 1 cup of the sauce to the bowl with the chicken. Toss to fully coat.
- Ladle 1/2 cup of the sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread a heaping 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture evenly onto a tortilla, then roll it up. If you'd like, trim the round ends of the tortilla that are unfilled and reserve for another use. Cut the rolled tortilla into 6 pinwheels. Place each pinwheel cut-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese on top.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the lettuce with the ranch dressing in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles on top of the enchiladas. Serve immediately with the salad.
- Combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, chives, parsley, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Use fresh, pliable tortillas that are not too thick or too thin. Corn tortillas are a classic choice, but you can also use flour tortillas.
- Don't overfill the tortillas: Overfilling the tortillas will make them difficult to roll and seal. Aim for a thin layer of filling, about 1/4 cup per tortilla.
- Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. Some popular options include shredded chicken, beef, or pork, black beans, corn, cheese, and salsa. Try to create a filling that is balanced in terms of flavors and textures.
- Roll the tortillas tightly: Once you have filled the tortillas, roll them up tightly. This will help to keep the filling in place and prevent the pinwheels from falling apart.
- Bake or fry the pinwheels: You can either bake or fry the pinwheels, depending on your preference. If you are baking them, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the pinwheels for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. If you are frying them, heat a large skillet over medium heat and fry the pinwheels in a little bit of oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
Conclusion:
Chicken Enchilada Pinwheels are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little bit of creativity, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give Chicken Enchilada Pinwheels a try!
