Scale
  • 2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup thick salsa or picante sauce (mild, medium, or hot)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp lemon pepper
  • 23 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onion
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 6 extra-large burrito-size tortillas
  • Optional for serving: salsa, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole

Instructions

  • Lay tortillas flat; spread mixture, leaving a 1/2 inch border.

Chill the pinwheels longer for improved flavor melding.
