Expert Tips

  • Feeding a crowd? Chill the Chicken Enchilada Pinwheels until ready to serve and then slice them up.
  • Rotisserie chicken works well and saves time, but you can use any shredded cooked chicken for this recipe.
  • For a little heat, stir two tablespoons chopped, pickled jalapeños into the cream cheese mixture.
  • For best results, place the tightly rolled tortillas seam-side down against each other to prevent them from unrolling as they chill.
