    FAQ about BBQ Chicken Pinwheels:

    Can I Freeze these?

    You can freeze for up to two months in an airtight container, however the texture of the cream cheese changes. I usually only freeze items with cream cheese if I will be cooking it before eating it as it melts the cheese and helps fix the consistency issue that freezing causes.

    Can I use something other than chicken?

    Pulled Pork

    How far in advance can I make these?

    you can make the pinwheels Two Days in advance, the mixture itself is good in the fridge for up to a week.

    • roll the prepared tortillas into a log. Slice into 5 even pieces.

    Notes

    I used Trager Chicken Seasoning. It does not have a lot of salt in it. If you are using a saltier blend please cut it back to 2 teaspoons instead of 2 tablespoons.
    If you don't have a chicken seasoning blend make your own!:
    1tablespoon Paprika, ½ Teaspoon salt, 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder, ½ Teaspoon Onion Powder, ½ Teaspoon Thyme
