Instructions:
- Prep the Filling: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, chopped bacon, shredded cheddar, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions (if using) until well combined.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay a tortilla flat. Spread a portion of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a half-inch border to prevent spills.
- Roll: Starting at one end, tightly roll the tortilla into a log shape, gently pressing as you go to keep the filling inside.
- Chill (Optional): For easier slicing, chill the roll-up in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
- Slice: Use a sharp knife to cut the roll-up into 1-inch pinwheels.
- Serve: Arrange the pinwheels on a plate. Garnish with extra shredded cheese or chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Tips for the Best Roll-Ups:
- Fresh Ingredients: For maximum flavor, use freshly cooked chicken and bacon. Rotisserie chicken is convenient, but roasting your own can add a personal touch.
- Customize: Feel free to adjust seasonings. For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Prep Ahead: These roll-ups are great for meal prep—make them in advance and store in the fridge.
- Tortilla Variety: Try different tortillas like spinach, whole wheat, or sun-dried tomato for added flavor and color.
- Dipping Sauces: Serve with extra ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, or spicy aioli for an extra flavor boost.
