Making the Cheesy Fiesta Chicken Filling
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups shredded chicken, 8 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup sour cream, 1 cup fiesta blend cheese,½ of a 15-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies, 1 cup black beans that have been drained and rinsed, 1 tablespoon Chugwater Chili Dip & Dressing Mix, and1 tablespoon Chugwater Chili Seasoning (if you want them spicier you can add 1 more tablespoon of Chugwater Chili Seasoning or substitute in the Chugwater Chili Hot Chili Seasoning). Stir until well combined.
Optional add-ins to the rolls ups include diced jalapeno, diced red bell pepper, chopped olives, and chopped cilantro.
Rolling the Tortilla Roll Ups/Pinwheels
On a flour tortilla spread a layer of the chicken mixture. You do not want the layer to be super thick to where you cannot roll the roll up but not too thin to where you cannot get the flavor of the filling in your bite.
Roll the tortilla starting at one edge and set aside. Repeat until the mixture has been used.
Chill and Cut the Tortilla Roll-Ups/Pinwheels
Chill the tortilla roll-ups for at least 30 minutes then slice them to create round pinwheel-like bite-sized pieces. Chilling in the refrigerator allows the filling to set up and makes slicing the pinwheels easier.
