Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (natural)
  • 1/3 cup sour cream (plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Bacon and Cheese

  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese

Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with mayonnaise (natural), sour cream (plant-based), garlic powder, onion powder, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and chopped green onions. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly coated and flavorful.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Pan-fry the smoked turkey bacon until crisp. Drain excess fat on paper towels, then chop the bacon into small pieces to add a crunchy texture to the pinwheels.
  3. Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a surface. Spread a generous and even layer of the chicken mixture over each tortilla. Sprinkle the chopped smoked turkey bacon evenly on top, then cover with shredded plant-based cheese.
  4. Roll and Chill: Roll each tortilla tightly into a log. Wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the pinwheels hold their shape and make slicing easier.
  5. Slice and Serve: Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange them on a serving platter and serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use cold chicken to blend better with the creamy mixture and maintain texture.
  • Chilling the rolls before slicing prevents the filling from spilling and helps keep neat pinwheels.
  • Do not overfill the tortillas to make rolling and slicing easier.
  • Add fresh green onions last for crispness and vibrant texture.
  • Use a serrated or very sharp knife for clean, even slices.
