Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a flour tortilla, blister it on 1 side then turn it over. Scatter cheese on top and cook 1 minute. Remove to cutting board. Top the tortilla with 1/4 cup salsa, spreading it gently with the back of a spoon back to edges. Top with 1/2 cup chicken, then roll tortilla into a log. Let stand a minute before cutting. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut pinwheels into 1/2-inch slices and arrange on platter.
Tips:
- Use a variety of tortillas. You can use any type of tortilla you like, but some tortillas work better than others for pinwheels. Flour tortillas are a good option because they are soft and pliable, and they hold their shape well. Corn tortillas are also a good choice, but they are more delicate and may tear if you are not careful.
- Cut the tortillas into even strips. This will help the pinwheels to look neat and tidy. You can use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the tortillas.
- Don't overfill the pinwheels. If you overfill them, they will be difficult to roll up and they may fall apart.
- Bake the pinwheels until they are golden brown. This will help them to hold their shape and give them a nice crispy texture.
- Serve the pinwheels with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, sour cream, or salsa are all good options.
Conclusion:
Cheesy chicken tortilla pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and impressive dish that everyone will love.
