Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chicken cooked, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup celery finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp green onions chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add shredded chicken, mayonnaise, and softened cream cheese. Mix slowly until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy with no large lumps.
  • Add chopped celery and green onions. Pour in lemon juice, then add salt and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Place tortillas flat on a clean surface. If needed, warm them slightly to make them soft and easy to roll.
  • Spread an even layer of the chicken salad mixture over each tortilla. Leave a small border around the edges to prevent spilling.
  • Carefully roll each tortilla into a tight log. Place seam side down to keep it closed.
  • Wrap each roll in plastic wrap or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps the rolls firm up and hold shape.
  • Remove from refrigerator and unwrap. Use a sharp knife to slice into small pinwheels. Clean the knife between cuts for neat slices.
  • Arrange on a plate and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Chilling is important for clean slicing
  • Do not overfill the tortillas
  • Adjust seasoning based on taste
