Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup shredded plant-based cheese
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Crisp the smoked turkey bacon in a pan until golden and crunchy, then chop into small pieces. In a bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, softened plant-based cream cheese, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), garlic powder (natural), and chopped bacon. Stir in sliced green onions and shredded plant-based cheese until well mixed.
  2. Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the chicken mixture over each tortilla, covering the surface but leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the tortillas tightly from one side to the other, forming a log shape for easy slicing.
  3. Slice and Chill: Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Place the slices on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to help them set and hold their shape.
  4. Serve or Bake (Optional): Serve the Crack Chicken Pinwheels cold straight from the fridge or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes for a gooey, warm appetizer with slightly melted plant-based cheese.

Notes

  • Use room temperature plant-based cream cheese for smooth mixing without lumps.
  • Do not overfill tortillas to avoid difficult rolling and pinwheels falling apart.
  • Chilling before slicing keeps pinwheels firm and neat.
  • Use a sharp serrated knife for clean cuts without squishing rolls.
  • Prepare filling and roll tortillas ahead of time for quick assembly later.
