Delicious Chicken Wraps with Herb Cheese - Quick and Easy Recipe
For me, tortilla pinwheels are the ultimate snacks to serve at a party or picnic. They are easy to prepare, quick and easy to prepare, and always tasty.
I already have the most delicious tortilla pinwheels on my site: pinwheels with salmon and leek dip, wraps filled with tuna salad or elegant carpaccio roll-ups.
But these chicken wrap snacks could not be missed. They are tasty, fresh, and budget-friendly to make.
Try them yourself!
What do you need for Chicken Enchilada Roll Ups?
To prepare these Chicken Tortilla Pinwheels, you require the following ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
- Tortilla wraps: Delicious plain wheat tortillas are used for this recipe. But you can also opt for a multigrain wrap tortilla with a slightly nutty taste.
- Chicken breast (deli): Slices of chicken breast from the deli department. Gives a delicious taste and is a bit salty.
- Herb cream cheese: A creamy, spreadable cheese flavored with herbs (and often garlic). Boursin is the most famous herb cream cheese, but you could use other brands.
- Cucumber: Shaved into thin slices and not diced. Bits are not very convenient for these wraps. Due to the thin slices, the cucumber distributes much more evenly.
- Mixed Lettuce: This is a good choice for wraps because it is crunchy and stays fresh longer. You can also replace it with arugula, which tastes light and peppery.
How to prepare Fresh Chicken Pinwheels
You can find a printable recipe with a step-by-step description at the bottom of this blog.
- Heat a tortilla wrap in a hot frying pan for a few seconds so that it can be rolled well. Brush one side with the herb cream cheese.
- Top it with thin slices of chicken fillet. Let them overlap a bit.
- Peel the cucumber and slice the cucumber into long strands using a cheese slicer or vegetable peeler. Not with the seeds (then the wrap will be too wet). Place cucumber slices on top of the chicken breast. Sprinkle mixed lettuce on top.
- Roll up the wrap tightly and wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it cool for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
To serve: remove the plastic foil and cut it into thin slices. Serve with skewers.
Tips and Variations
- Also tasty: add some thinly sliced grilled bell pepper to the wrap. Or thin slices of avocado.
- Instead of regular chicken breast, you can also use smoked chicken breast. The smoky flavor is wonderfully combined with the rest of the ingredients.
