✅ Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
½ cup light cream cheese (softened)
½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (or light sour cream)
1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese (or part-skim mozzarella)
½ cup diced green onions (or red bell pepper for sweetness)
2 tbsp salsa or hot sauce (optional, for kick)
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt & black pepper, to taste
4 large low-carb or low-point tortillas (Mission Carb Balance or Ole Xtreme Wellness are popular WW-friendly choices)
📖 Instructions
Make the filling: In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, shredded chicken, shredded cheese, green onions, salsa, and seasonings until well combined.
Assemble wraps: Spread an even layer of filling over each tortilla, leaving about ½ inch around the edges.
Roll tightly: Starting at one end, roll each tortilla up as tightly as possible.
Chill: Wrap rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (helps them firm up for clean slicing).
Slice & serve: Cut each roll into 6 pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and garnish with extra salsa, green onions, or cilantro if desired.
🔑 Notes
Points Hack: Using light cream cheese + Greek yogurt + reduced-fat cheese + low-carb tortillas keeps these pinwheels around 3–4 WW points per serving (4 pinwheels).
Meal Prep Tip: Store rolled tortillas whole, slice just before serving to keep edges fresh.
