Ingredients
  

2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 cup diced bell peppers (choose your favorite color for vibrancy)

1/4 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)

1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Salt and black pepper to taste

Hot sauce (optional, to your preferred spice level)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Sprinkle in the chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Use a spatula to mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a creamy mixture.

    Incorporate Chicken and Veggies: To the creamy mixture, gently fold in the shredded chicken, diced bell peppers, corn, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. For those who enjoy a kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling.

      Assemble the Wraps: Take a flour tortilla and place it on a clean, flat surface. Spoon half of the chili chicken mixture onto the tortilla, spreading it evenly while leaving about 1 inch of space along the edges.

        Roll the Tortilla: Starting from one end of the tortilla, carefully roll it tightly while tucking in the sides as you go. This technique ensures that the filling remains securely inside. Repeat this step with the second tortilla.

          Slice the Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into bite-sized pinwheels, about 1 inch thick. This will create a lovely spiral effect, showcasing the colorful filling.

            Serve: Arrange the sliced pinwheels artfully on a serving platter. These wraps can be enjoyed immediately for a fresh taste or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for a convenient snack or meal.
