Ingredients
  

2 large flour tortillas

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon chili sauce (adjust according to your spice preference)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup lettuce, shredded

1/4 cup diced ripe tomatoes

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamy Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Add in the chili sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.

    Incorporate the Chicken: Gently fold the shredded chicken into the creamy mixture, ensuring every piece of chicken is coated evenly. Then, mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and red bell pepper until well combined.

      Assemble the Wraps: Place one tortilla on a clean work surface or cutting board. Spread half of the chili chicken mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving a small border (about 1/2 inch) around the edges to prevent spills.

        Add the Crunch: Layer a handful of shredded lettuce on top of the chicken mixture, adding a fresh, crunchy texture to each bite.

          Roll It Up: Starting from one end of the tortilla, carefully roll it tightly into a log shape. As you roll, tuck in the sides to secure the filling and prevent it from spilling out.

            Slice into Pinwheels: With a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange your colorful pinwheels attractively on a serving platter.

              Garnish and Serve: If you like, sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves over the top for a burst of color and flavor. These pinwheel wraps can be served immediately, or if you're preparing them ahead of time, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

                Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes | Servings: 2 (yields about 8 pinwheels)

                  Enjoy your delicious and spiced-up wraps!
