Ingredients
  

2 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (preferably spiced or rotisserie)

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon lime juice

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup shredded lettuce

1/4 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mashed avocado, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sriracha sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and creamy.

    Lay Out the Tortillas: Place the tortillas flat on a clean surface or a cutting board. Spread a thin layer of the chicken and avocado mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

      Add Fresh Ingredients: Sprinkle shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheddar cheese (if using) evenly on top of the mixture in each tortilla.

        Roll the Pinwheels: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly towards the opposite edge, ensuring the filling stays intact. Repeat for the second tortilla.

          Slice the Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels. You should get about 8-10 pinwheels from each tortilla.

            Serve: Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter. They can be enjoyed immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for a while if you prefer a cooler bite.

              Optional Garnish: Drizzle some extra sriracha on top for an added kick or serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
