Directions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, mayonnaise, salsa, chopped cilantro, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully incorporated.
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the chicken mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border along the edges.
- Add any optional toppings such as olives, diced tomatoes, lettuce, or cheese.
- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the filling as you go. Secure the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
- Slice the rolls into 1–2 inch pinwheels and arrange on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
