Instructions

In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, crumbled beef, mayonnaise, chives, and ranch seasoning until well combined.
Spread the mixture evenly over the two tortillas, reaching all the way to the edges.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
Roll the tortillas up tightly, then trim the ends.
Slice each roll into 5 equal pinwheels, making 10 total.
Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and lightly spray the basket with oil.
Arrange the pinwheels in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook for about 5 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Serve warm, optionally with dipping sauces like ranch or BBQ.

Notes

Use rotisserie or pre-cooked chicken for convenience and flavor.

Swap crumbled beef for bacon for a more traditional flavor.

Make ahead by prepping rolls and refrigerating before slicing and cooking.

Low-carb tortillas or lettuce wraps can be used for a lighter version.

Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes to maintain crispiness.
