Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crack Chicken Pinwheels
  1. Begin by shredding your pre-cooked chicken, ensuring it's finely pulled apart for even distribution in your Crack Chicken Pinwheels.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning mix, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.
  3. Continue mixing the filling until you achieve a smooth and consistent texture.
  4. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface, and spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture into the center of the tortilla.
  5. Starting at one edge of the tortilla, gently but firmly roll it tightly around the filling.
  6. Continue the same process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Once all the tortillas are rolled, you can choose to wrap each in plastic wrap for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  8. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut each chilled tortilla into bite-sized pinwheels, about 1 inch thick.
  9. If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the sliced pinwheels for an added touch of color and freshness before serving.
