My Nana made this every year for us kids and now I’m carrying on the tradition

Prepare Chicken Salad: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken and mayonnaise.
Add Ingredients: Add green onions, minced onion, garlic salt, brown sugar, grapes, and almonds to the chicken mixture. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roll the Pinwheels:
Lay out one burrito tortilla on a work surface.
Spread one-quarter of the chicken salad mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border at the end.
Roll the tortilla tightly into a log.
Repeat with the remaining chicken salad and tortillas.
Chill: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap, folding the ends under to secure. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Slice and Serve: Remove the plastic wrap from the chilled pinwheels. Slice each pinwheel into ½-inch pieces. Serve and enjoy!
