I’m excited to see that spring weather is slowly creeping back in and bringing with it sunshine and warmer weather so that I can finally get back outside! One of the easiest snacks/lunches you can make yourself or your family this season is bite-sized rollups or pinwheels.

Why BBQ Chicken Pinwheels?

Essentially a mixture of cream cheese and other sandwich ingredients in a tortilla that’s the perfect kid-friendly lunch, party appetizer, or picnic food. Since I absolutely love BBQ chicken, I decided to combine these flavors to make simple BBQ Chicken Pinwheels that I can eat for several days or easily pack up for a spring picnic!

Pinwheels are the perfect bite-sized food to eat on-the-go or share for events. Not only do they travel well, but they are also easy to customize with your favorite ingredients. In this case, I wrapped all of the ingredients in a tomato basil tortilla to add a little more flavor, and inside the barbecue sauce takes away from the tanginess of the cream cheese. Then I included chopped chicken, shredded cheese, and green onions with garlic salt and pepper to make each bite taste flavorful, but also very true to BBQ chicken dishes.

How to customize BBQ Chicken Pinwheels!

How thin or thick you slice the pinwheels is entirely up to you, but I find that if it’s less than an inch, they may fall apart. About 1-1/2 or 2 inches is a good size for me, and I can get about five out of one tortilla, which I find is more than enough for one person. Served with sides like fresh fruit and something crunchy like pretzels or chips, it becomes a well-rounded lunch I wouldn’t mind eating every day.

Simply pack them all up in zipper bags and you’re ready to eat anywhere, like the beach, the park, or simply at work! Thanks to the cream cheese that disguises many flavors, I think you could even get picky children to love these bite-sized pinwheels. Add more ingredients if you prefer, but remember that the more ingredients pinwheels have, the harder they are to roll up and slice.
