Ingredients
  

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 medium tomato, diced

1/2 cup black olives, sliced (optional)

1 packet taco seasoning

4 large flour tortillas

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Salsa (for dipping)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and taco seasoning until well blended.

    Add in the cooked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomato, black olives (if using), and half of the shredded lettuce. Mix until all ingredients are evenly coated with the cream cheese mixture.

      Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the chicken mixture evenly across the entire tortilla, leaving about half an inch around the edges.

        Sprinkle some of the remaining shredded lettuce on top of the mixture for added crunch.

          Starting from the edge closest to you, roll the tortilla tightly into a log, making sure to keep the filling contained.

            Repeat the rolling process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

              Once all the tortillas are rolled, use a sharp knife to slice each log into pinwheel sections, about 1-inch wide.

                Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with salsa on the side for dipping.
