  • Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: Makes about 16 pinwheels 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked chicken, finely diced or shredded

5 ounces cream cheese, softened

Β½ cup shredded cheddar cheese or Colby Jack cheese

ΒΌ cup Buffalo wing sauce

2 tablespoons ranch dressing

2 tablespoons green onions

2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles (optional)

2 large flour tortillas, burrito sized

Instructions

1-Gathering Your Ingredients: Start by pulling together all your ingredients to make the process smooth. Shred your cooked chicken if it isn’t already, and measure out items like the 5 ounces of softened cream cheese and ΒΌ cup of Buffalo wing sauce. This step sets the stage for easy buffalo chicken pinwheels that come out just right every time.

2-Gathering Your Ingredients: Once everything is ready, mix the shredded chicken with the Buffalo sauce, cream cheese, ranch dressing, shredded cheese, green onions, and optional blue cheese in a large bowl. Stir until it’s all blended well, adjusting for any dietary swaps like vegan alternatives to keep it inclusive.

3-Assembling and Rolling: Lay out your two large flour tortillas on a flat surface and spread about ΒΎ cup of the mixture on each one, leaving a half-inch border around the edges. This helps with rolling without any mess, making your buffalo chicken pinwheels neat and easy to handle.

4-Assembling and Rolling: After spreading, roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Wrap them securely in plastic wrap and pop them in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Chilling is crucial here, as it firms up the filling for clean slices and prevents spillage when you cut them.

5-Slicing and Serving: When the time is up, unwrap the rolls and use a serrated knife to slice them into 1-inch pieces. Arrange them on a plate and serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. The total prep time is just 10 minutes, plus 2 hours for chilling, bringing your buffalo chicken appetizers to the table in about 2 hours and 10 minutes total.
