Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite flavor)

1/2 cup sweet chili sauce

1 cup cream cheese, softened (let it sit at room temperature for easier mixing)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild based on preference)

1/2 cup chopped green onions (use both white and green parts for added flavor)

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch, whole wheat or regular)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional, but highly recommended)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, sweet chili sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they create a creamy and cohesive filling.

    Assemble the Pinwheels: Take one tortilla and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface. Spread a generous layer of the chicken mixture evenly across the tortilla, making sure to leave about a 1-inch border around the edges for easy rolling.

      Roll it Up: Starting from one end of the tortilla, carefully roll it up tightly to form a log, being mindful not to roll it too tightly to avoid any filling escaping. Continue this process with the remaining tortillas and filling until everything is rolled up.

        Slice and Serve: With a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch wide pinwheels to create bite-sized pieces. Place the pinwheels on a serving platter, arranging them in a colorful display.

          Garnish and Enjoy: For a burst of color and flavor, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top of the pinwheels just before serving. Pair with additional BBQ sauce and sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping, enhancing the experience for your guests.
