¼ cup cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. ranch dressing or 1 tbsp. ranch seasoning
1 tbsp. green onions(chopped)
Salt & pepper

INGREDIENT NOTES:

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

Here, we are going for cheddar cheese, mild or sharp, whichever you prefer. Sharp cheddar has a strong flavor. You can also use a blend of both mild & sharp versions of chedddar cheese.

GREEN ONIONS:

It is not a compulsory item. Fresh green chives or green onions add a wonderful garnish to our recipe.

CHICKEN:

This recipe requires shredded cooked chicken. If you are pressed for time, you may use canned chicken or previously cooked and shredded chicken from your fridge storage.

TORTILLAS:

Carefully read the label while buying low-carb tortillas. They should only have three/five grams of net carbohydrates/wrap.

BACON:

You may use the pre-cooked bacon to speed things up with your recipe. If you have some time, cook your crispy bacon at home as you like.

RANCH DRESSING/SEASONING:

If you are using the commercial ranch dressing, be careful of any hidden sugars while buying. Otherwise, it is much better to use dry ranch seasoning that you have made at home. Start with a little amount & add more after tasting if you feel the need.

CREAM CHEESE:

Before using, loosen the cream cheese to facilitate easy mixing. For a richer flavor, go for the full-fat cream cheese.

TIPS:

Make sure to soften the cream cheese to room temperature. This way it will mix well with other items.
If you are pressed for time, leftover/rotisserie shredded chicken will make your work quick.
Make sure to evaporate all of the water to cook the bacon crispy
Use lettuce leaves, egg wrap, or almond flour tortillas to stick on keto. These wonderful options can replace the high-carb tortillas amazingly.
After wrapping the rolls in the cling wrap, shift them to the fridge for around half an hour. The result will assist you in avoiding messy cuts of pinwheels.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

We suggest you eat the fresh pinwheels. Even then, if some of the pinwheels are left, then pack them in the container(air-tight). transfer the container to the fridge & enjoy up to three days.

FREEZER:

These pinwheels are not recommended for freezing, as the cream cheese will ruin the texture after defrosting.

FAQs:

Can we trust the store-bought ranch dressing to be keto-friendly?

Yes, some brands offer the keto version of ranch dressing, but still read the nutrition label carefully while buying. If you don’t trust the brands, go for homemade ranch dressing by mixing sour cream, homemade mayonnaise, & ranch seasoning(dry).

How can I make these delicious wraps in less time?

You may use the canned cooked chicken by straining it well. You can also go for the pre-cooked crispy bacon. These will save your precious time & you can enjoy these delicious pinwheels even in the shortage of time.

What are the options for keto tortillas?

Buy low-carb tortillas from Mission Carb Balance, Egglife Wraps, or Siete almond flour. If you can’t find them commercially, then use provolone cheese slices or lettuce leaves as wraps. You can also make almond flour tortillas or egg tortilla wraps at home.
