Description

These Chicken Salad Pinwheels come together in just 30 minutes and slice into perfect bite sized rolls. Each piece delivers creamy chicken salad with sweet grapes and crisp celery.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 3/4 cups red grapes, sliced in half
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup celery, chopped
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 large flour tortillas
  • 6-8 lettuce leaves
  • fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and lemon juice.
  2. Add the shredded chicken, grapes, pecans, and celery. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Lay one tortilla flat on a cutting board or clean work surface. Place a few leaves of lettuce across the center of the tortilla.
  4. Spoon about one-third of the chicken salad mixture over the lettuce and spread it into an even layer.
  5. Roll the tortilla up tightly into a log. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  6. Place the rolled tortillas in the freezer for about 15 minutes to help them firm up for slicing.
  7. Slice into ½” to 1” pinwheels, wiping the knife clean between cuts for better slices.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy!
