→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, finely shredded
02 -
¾ cup mayonnaise
03 -
2 green onions, thinly sliced
04 -
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic salt
06 -
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
07 -
½ cup thinly sliced red seedless grapes
08 -
⅓ cup sliced almonds
09 -
Salt and pepper to taste
10 -
4 burrito-sized tortillas
# Instructions:
01 -
Mix together the mayonnaise and shredded chicken in a large bowl.
02 -
Add green onions, minced onion, garlic salt, brown sugar, grapes, and almonds to the chicken mixture. Stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
03 -
Lay a burrito tortilla on a work surface. Spread a quarter of the chicken salad mixture evenly on the tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges to prevent overflow. Roll the tortilla tightly into a log. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken salad.
04 -
Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap, folding the ends under the logs. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
05 -
Remove plastic wrap from the logs. Slice into ½-inch pinwheels using a serrated knife. Serve and enjoy.
# Notes:
01 -
Use soft, pliable tortillas to ensure they roll easily and won’t crack.
02 -
Avoid overstuffing the pinwheels to make them easier to cut and handle.
03 -
Wrapping tightly and refrigerating is crucial for neat slicing.
04 -
A serrated knife works best for clean, precise cuts.
05 -
Experiment with additional ingredients like apple bits, raisins, or chopped onions for different flavors.
