Farm Girl Tips
*For best results, use block-style cream cheese rather than whipped cream cheese.
- Rotisserie chicken is an easy shortcut and works perfectly in this recipe.
- Finely dice the celery so it adds crunch without making the pinwheels difficult to roll or slice.
- Chilling the rolls before slicing helps them hold their shape.
- For cleaner cuts, wipe the knife between slices.
- These pinwheels can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and sliced just before serving.
- Substitute Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese for the cheddar.
- Use blue cheese dressing in place of ranch dressing.
- Add extra buffalo sauce for a spicier filling.
- Use spinach or tomato basil tortillas for added color.
