Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (can use rotisserie chicken for convenience)

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional for a kick)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

Lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine honey, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.

    Mix the Chicken: In a separate large bowl, add the shredded chicken and pour the honey-lime sauce over it. Mix until the chicken is thoroughly coated.

      Spread the Cream Cheese: Take each tortilla and spread an even layer of softened cream cheese over the entire surface.

        Assemble the Pinwheels: On top of the cream cheese, add an even layer of the sticky honey lime chicken mixture. Then, sprinkle the chopped cilantro (if using), followed by the shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.

          Roll it Up: Starting from one side, tightly roll the tortilla over the filling, ensuring it is packed snugly. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

            Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into pinwheels, approximately 1-inch thick. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.

              Enjoy!: These Sticky Honey Lime Chicken Pinwheels are perfect for a party appetizer, lunch, or a light dinner. Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!
