Tips for the Best Chicken Bacon Ranch Pinwheels
🔥 Use Freshly Cooked Bacon
Crispy, homemade bacon gives the best crunch and smoky flavor.
🌯 Don’t Overfill the Tortillas
Too much filling makes them harder to roll—spread a thin, even layer.
🧊 Chill Before Slicing
Refrigerating for at least 30 minutes helps the pinwheels hold their shape.
🧀 Try Different Cheeses
Swap cheddar for pepper jack, mozzarella, or Colby jack for a unique twist.
🌿 Add Fresh Herbs for Extra Flavor
Chopped cilantro, parsley, or chives bring a fresh pop of flavor.
