Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon lime zest

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (red or yellow)

Optional: chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. This will be your sticky sauce that binds all flavors together.

    Combine the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the honey-lime sauce. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.

      Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a quarter of the chicken mixture evenly over the entire tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Layer on some fresh spinach leaves, followed by a sprinkle of shredded carrots and chopped bell peppers.

        Roll It Up: Starting at one end of the tortilla, tightly roll it up, tucking in the edges as you go to secure the filling. Repeat this step for the remaining tortillas and fillings.

          Chill and Slice: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps to set the filling and makes slicing easier.

            Slice Into Pinwheels: Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange them on a serving platter.

              Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped green onions on top for an extra pop of flavor and color.

                Serve: These Sticky Honey Lime Chicken Pinwheels are perfect for parties or as a light meal. Serve with a lime wedge on the side for an extra zest!
