Southwestern Chicken Pinwheels

Recipe #397906 | 55 min | 35 min prep | add private note

By: Matt, Averie & Kate's Mom
Nov 5, 2009

I wanted to make pinwheels for our annual Halloween party, but was in a "southwestern" mood, so I came up with this recipe. Everyone at the party enjoyed it - hope you do too!

SERVES 10 -12 , 48 slices (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 8 large sun-dried tomato tortillas
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning
  • 2 cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped fine
  • 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2-3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup tex-mex cheese

Directions

  1. 1
    In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and taco seasoning until well blended.
  2. 2
    Spread evenly onto the tortillas.
  3. 3
    Next add the black beans, chicken, onions tomatoes and cheese in a thin layer over each tortilla - don't add too much of the toppings or else they will be hard to roll up.
  4. 4
    Roll tightly in cling wrap and refrigerate for 8 hrs or overnight.
  5. 5
    Slice into 1 inch slices and serve.
  6. 6
    Note - it is easier to slice if you place them in the freezer for 1/2 hr or so first.
  7. 7
    ** I only use about 1/2 - 3/4 of the can of beans, it all depends on how much you like them **.
  8. 8
    ** I only use about 1/2 the package of taco seasoning as well as I find a full packet to be a little too salty **.
