# Steps:
01 - Combine cream cheese and sour cream in a large mixing bowl. Mix until completely smooth and creamy.
02 - Add shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
03 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread one-quarter of the chicken mixture evenly over the entire surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
04 - Tightly roll up the tortilla from one end to the other, applying gentle pressure to ensure a compact roll. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
05 - Wrap each rolled tortilla securely in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up the filling for clean slicing.
06 - Remove rolls from refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 equal pinwheels, about 1 inch thick.
07 - Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
