How to Make Crack Chicken Pinwheels:

Collage of the steps of cooking crack chicken pinwheels.
  • Combine the filling– Add your chicken, cream cheese, bacon, mayo, chives, and ranch seasoning to a bowl and mash the mixture together until well combined. I use a fork for this.
  • Fill and wrap the tortilla– Divide your filling evenly between two flour tortillas and spread the mixture out all the way to the edges of each tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of both tortillas evenly. Now roll up each tortilla tightly, trying not to squish out the filling. Use a sharp knife to cut off the ends and discard. Now cut each tortilla into 5 evenly sized pieces.
  • Air fry the pinwheels– Spritz your air fryer basket with an  and arrange your pinwheels in a single layer. Air fry for 5 minutes at 370 degrees F.
