# How-To Steps:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
02 - Add shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
03 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
04 - Tightly roll up the tortilla starting from one end. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
05 - Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up for easier slicing.
06 - Remove from the fridge, unwrap, and slice each roll into 6 pinwheels using a sharp knife. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.
# Expert Suggestions:

- If your tortillas crack when rolling, warm them in the microwave for 10 seconds first
