These are not your average chicken salad wraps. They are filled with whipped cream cheese, shredded lettuce, and provolone cheese. They really are the ultimate chicken salad rollups!
So this weekend was a little busy for us, and we needed a quick little snack like these rollups. With only 5 weeks left until my due date for baby #4, I knew I NEEDED to potty train my 2 1/2 year old. We’ve done two in diapers before (our oldest two are 17 months apart) and we just would like to avoid that again. She did so well! I think she’ll be pretty well trained in a few weeks. So I spent a lot of time in the bathroom with her, and I didn’t have a lot of time to make any elaborate meals.
Luckily these are great little rollups to make ahead and keep in the fridge for when you are famished. I also love to make them for vacation each year. But one of my favorite uses for them is as an alternative to chicken salad sandwiches at a shower. They really are a hit and get eaten up very quickly. I first learned to make them from my friend’s mom. She made them for my friend’s baby shower, and they’ve become a recipe I’ll never forget.
First start off by spreading a large tortilla with whipped cream cheese.
Along one edge. layer the provolone cheese.
Top with shredded lettuce.
Top lettuce with chicken salad.
Finally, roll them up and place in fridge to chill before slicing.
Add a little white onion (about 1/8 of an onion) when processing for a nice kick. You can also add sweet relish.

The whipped cream cheese is what got my attention — these sound SO good!
They really are! Hope you give them a try!
I can see why these would be a big hit at parties and such Jaren, they look really yummy and super easy too! I’ve never had whipped cream cheese on my chicken salad and I’m excited to try it out. Love this idea!! Hugs, Brenda

I love these chicken salad rollups! They would be perfect in a picnic lunch! 🙂
Nice recipe. Thank you.
I pinned this recipe a while back and am just now getting around to making them. They look ago yummy! Thanks for sharing. Does the lettuce keep its crunch if it sits over night?
Hi Jodi! These pinwheels are one of my favorites! I wouldn’t say the lettuce stays crunchy, but that doesn’t stop us from eating on them for a few days! Enjoy!
How many pinwheels does one tortilla make?
I would say you get about 8 out of 1 wrap.
