- ½ green bell pepper diced fine
Instructions
- Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, and taco seasoning.
- Lay out the four tortillas.
- Divide the cream cheese mixture between the four tortillas and spread into an even layer.
- Divide the cheese, chicken, and bell peppers and sprinkle over the 4 tortillas.
- Starting on one edge, roll tightly. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge.
- Chill for at least one hour.
- Remove plastic wrap and slice with a serrated knife.

Notes
- Spice it up by adding in fresh jalapenos or chopped green chiles.
- Soft flour tortillas are best. Corn tortillas tend to tear.
- For best results, be sure to soften your cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing.
- I like to use leftover chicken breasts, shredded chicken, or rotisserie chicken.
- Substitute cooked ground beef or taco meat for the chicken if you prefer.
- Switch up the cheese to Monterey Jack or Mexican blend if you like.
- Other fresh veggies or ingerdients like black beans, black olives, cilantro
- Wrap the pinwheels as tightly as possible.
- Chill in the fridge before slicing.
- Use a serrated knife when slicing.
