Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Shred your cooked chicken if it isn't pre-shredded and set it aside in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning mix, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions to the shredded chicken. Mix until combined.
  3. Lay one flour tortilla flat and spread a generous portion of the creamy chicken mixture in the center, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Tightly roll the tortilla to encase the filling, then repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Wrap the pinwheels in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.
  6. Slice each rolled tortilla into bite-sized pinwheels, about 1 inch thick, showcasing the colorful filling.
  7. Arrange the sliced pinwheels on a platter and sprinkle fresh parsley on top, if desired.
