Ingredients
  

2 large flour tortillas

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon chili sauce (adjust according to spice preference)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded lettuce

1/4 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamy Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, chili sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Use a spatula or whisk to mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Incorporate the Chicken: Gently fold in the shredded chicken into the creamy mixture, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Next, add in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and diced red bell pepper, stirring until all ingredients are evenly blended.

      Assemble the Wraps: Place one tortilla on a clean work surface or cutting board. Evenly spread half of the spicy chicken mixture over the tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around all edges to prevent spillage.

        Add Fresh Greens: On top of the chicken mixture, layer a handful of shredded lettuce for a crisp and refreshing crunch.

          Roll It Up: Starting from one end of the tortilla, carefully roll it up into a tight log shape. As you roll, gently tuck in the sides of the tortilla to secure the filling.

            Slice the Pinwheels: With a sharp knife, carefully slice the rolled wrap into 1-inch thick pinwheels, creating bite-sized pieces. Arrange the pinwheels in an aesthetically pleasing manner on a serving platter.

              Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the pinwheels for a vibrant touch. Serve immediately as a delightful appetizer, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

                Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes | Servings: 2 (approximately 8 pinwheels)

                  Presentation Tips: For an extra pop, serve the pinwheels with a small bowl of additional chili sauce or lime wedges on the side for dipping. This enhances the visual appeal and adds an interactive element to your dish. Enjoy!
