How do you make high protein chicken bacon ranch pinwheels?

Combine shredded chicken, cooked bacon, cheddar cheese, and spinach. Mix with a high-protein spread made from Greek yogurt, light cream cheese, and ranch seasoning. Spread on a protein tortilla, roll tightly, chill, and slice.

How do you keep pinwheels from getting soggy?

Use the "Barrier Method": spread the cream cheese mixture all the way to the edges to protect the tortilla. Ensure all vegetables (like spinach) are thoroughly dried before adding. Wrap and chill before slicing.

What can you use instead of cream cheese in pinwheels?

You can use a thick Greek Yogurt mixed with ranch seasoning, hummus, or even mashed avocado. However, the yogurt/cream cheese blend offers the most authentic "Ranch" flavor with the highest protein.

Can you meal prep chicken bacon ranch pinwheels for the week?

Yes, they last for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. In fact, they often taste better on Day 2 as the ranch flavor infuses into the chicken.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Make the Spread: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and garlic powder until smooth and thick.
Prep Tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface.
Layer (Barrier Method): Spread the ranch mixture evenly over each tortilla, going all the way to the edges. This acts as the moisture barrier.
Add Greens: Layer the dry spinach leaves over the spread.
Add Protein: Sprinkle the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and cheddar cheese evenly over the spinach.
Roll: Tightly roll the tortilla up like a sleeping bag, keeping the filling compressed as you go.
Chill: Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the spread “set” (this prevents them from falling apart).
Slice: Unwrap and use a serrated knife to slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Discard the empty ends.
Serve: Serve cold or enjoy immediately.

Notes

Warm Version: Brush tops with butter and bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes.
Low Carb: Use Keto-friendly tortillas.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
