8 large sun-dried tomato tortillas
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning
2 cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped fine
15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
2 -3 green onions, chopped
1 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 cup tex-mex cheese

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and taco seasoning until well blended.
  • Spread evenly onto the tortillas.
  • Next add the black beans, chicken, onions tomatoes and cheese in a thin layer over each tortilla - don't add too much of the toppings or else they will be hard to roll up.
  • Roll tightly in cling wrap and refrigerate for 8 hrs or overnight.
  • Slice into 1 inch slices and serve.
  • Note - it is easier to slice if you place them in the freezer for 1/2 hr or so first.
  • ** I only use about 1/2 - 3/4 of the can of beans, it all depends on how much you like them **.
  • ** I only use about 1/2 the package of taco seasoning as well as I find a full packet to be a little too salty **.

Time 30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
½ head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 large tomato, diced
5 medium green onions, finely chopped
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons ranch dressing, or to taste
10 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season chicken with taco seasoning.
  • Cook on the preheated grill until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Allow to cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes; slice into bite-size pieces.
  • Combine corn, beans, lettuce, tomato, green onions, Cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing in a bowl; stir in chicken. Assemble wraps as desired in tortillas.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of tortillas. You can use any type of tortilla you like, but some work better than others. Flour tortillas are a good all-purpose choice, while corn tortillas are a bit more flavorful. You can also use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
  • Prep your chicken ahead of time. You can cook your chicken in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to make your pinwheels.
  • Use a variety of fillings. The possibilities are endless when it comes to fillings for your pinwheels. You can use anything from cooked meats and vegetables to cheeses and spreads. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Roll your pinwheels tightly. This will help to keep them from falling apart when you cut them.
  • Chill your pinwheels before serving. This will help them to set and make them easier to cut.
  • Serve your pinwheels with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, guacamole, and salsa are all great options.

Conclusion:

Southwest chicken wrap pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or even just a quick lunch. With a little planning, you can have these pinwheels ready in no time. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing snack, give southwest chicken wrap pinwheels a try. You won't be disappointed!
