Chicken Enchilada Tortilla Roll Ups

These Chicken Enchilada Pinwheelsare AH-MAZ-ING! I have made tortilla sandwiches these several times over the past few months and they are always a hit. Cream cheese, chicken, taco seasoning, cheese, salsa, corn and black beans wrapped in a tortilla. I mean, what’s not to like?!?! They are great for lunch, dinner, tailgating, and parties.

How to Make the Best Chicken Enchilada Pinwheels

These pinwheel sandwiches are very easy to make. Combine softened cream cheese, taco seasoning, salsa, corn, black beans, cooked chicken, and cheddar cheese. Spread the mixture onto tortillas and them roll up. Pop the tortillas in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes and then slice.

• It is important to refrigerate the tortillas about 30 minutes before slicing. The cream cheese needs time to firm up.
• My favorite store-bought salsas are Maeto’s, Kylito’s and Trader Joe’s salsa.
• Here is our recipe for Homemade Salsa: https://www.plainchicken.com/superior-grill-salsa/
• Here is our recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning: https://www.plainchicken.com/homemade-taco-seasoning/
• I used chopped rotisserie chicken in the cream cheese mixture. Here is our recipe for homemade Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken: https://www.plainchicken.com/slow-cooker-rotisserie-chicken/
• I used shredded cheddar cheese. Feel free to use any cheese you prefer.
• Can I use canned chicken? Sure! Any cooked chicken will work fine in these sandwiches.
• Can I make tortilla pinwheels in advance? Yes! You can assemble the sandwiches and wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Slice before serving.
• You can use any size tortillas that you prefer. I use burrito sized tortillas, but any size will work fine.

What to Serve with Tortilla Sandwiches

We like to dip these sandwiches in some salsa or ranch. They are really good dipped in our favorite Jalapeño Ranch Dip. YUM! If you are making these for lunch or dinner, whip up a salad or some coleslaw. I really like to make these for parties and tailgating. I am making a batch this weekend with some red and green tortillas. PERFECT for Christmas parties!
