Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great for quick prep)

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about the juice of 1 large lime)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for those who like a bit of spice)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for a fresh herb flavor)

4 large tortillas (choose between flour or whole wheat for your preference)

1 cup shredded lettuce (for crunch)

1 cup diced tomatoes (for freshness)

Lime wedges, for garnish and extra zing

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and the sauce is smooth.

    Mix the Chicken: In a large bowl, add the shredded chicken. Pour the prepared honey-lime sauce over the chicken, tossing it until every piece is well-coated in this flavorful mixture.

      Spread the Cream Cheese: Take each tortilla and spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese evenly across the entire surface. This will add creaminess and help bind the ingredients together.

        Assemble the Pinwheels: On top of the cream cheese layer, evenly distribute the sticky honey lime chicken mixture. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro (if using) over the chicken, then add a layer of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes on top.

          Roll it Up: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla, keeping the filling compact as you go. Make sure the roll is snug to prevent it from falling apart. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.

            Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into pinwheels about 1 inch thick. Arrange these colorful pinwheels on a serving platter and garnish with lime wedges on the side for an extra touch of flavor.

              Enjoy: These Sticky Honey Lime Chicken Pinwheels make a delightful party appetizer, a satisfying lunch, or a light dinner option. Each bite offers a burst of sweet and tangy goodness!
